Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 171061153
Event: 07/02/2001
Employee Is Injured When Leg Is Caught in Machine

On July 2, 2001, Employee #1 entered a holding tank with a fluffer (auger) rotating in the bottom to clear a blockage in the feeder chute. Employee #1 watched his supervisor shut off the breaker to the machine and proceeded to enter the tank. Employee #1's supervisor could see the chain drive that operates the fluffer (auger) in the bottom of the tank was still rotating, so the fluffer (auger) was still running. Employee #1's supervisor tried to stop him from entering the tank, but Employee #1 was already in the fluffer at the bottom of the tank. When Employee #1 stepped into the fluffer (auger), it caught his right leg, fracturing it. The weekend prior to the accident, management rebuilt the fluffers and moved the lockout device to another location. Neither the supervisor, nor the employees were aware of the new lockout point for the machine. This was the first entry into the machine since the feed for the machine was changed. Employee #1 was hospitalized and treated for his injuries.
