Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 782730
Event: 07/20/1994
EMPLOYEE DECAPTITATED WHEN MIXER STARTED

An assembler was manufacturing an industrial mixer. He had his head inside the mixer, checking to see if the batch release door was flush. Apparently, he meant to press the "discharge open" button to open the door he was checking. This button was next to the start button for the mixer. The employee pressed the start button by mistake; and the mixer started up, decapitating the employee. An interlock switch had been installed to prevent the mixer from starting with the side door open. Unfortunately, it malfunctioned.
