Accident Investigation Summary | ||||||
| Summary Nr: 14273106 | Event: 08/09/1988 | Employee Drawn Into And Killed In Paper Shredder | ||||
| Employee #1 was working 3 ft in front of an unguarded 3 ft by 5 ft opening leading to a revolving (1,770 rpm) paper shredder. The revolving auger was 3 ft inside the opening. Employee #1 was removing foreign objects such as metal wire, string and plastic from bundled scrap newspaper and throwing the bundles into the shredder. Apparently, a long piece of baling wire became entangled in the revolving auger and around the employee's leg. Employee #1 was drawn into the auger and suffered partial amputation of his left foot and leg and all body tissue from his groin to his navel was completely severed. Employee #1 died from his injuries. | ||||||
