Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was cleaning the mixing bowl of a cement mixer used to mix cement for casting cement pavers. Employee #1 had cleaned one side of the mixer bowl and was waiting for the Supervisor to rotate the mixing blades to the other side of the bowl in order to clean the other side. The Supervisor did not use any lockout or tag out procedures while Employee #1 was in the bowl cleaning. The Supervisor turned the control switch to the "Off" position and actuated the stop switch at the control panel console. The Supervisor did physically check to ensure Employee #1 was clear of the mixer prior to rotating the blades. The Supervisor did tell Employee #1 to stand on the turntable with both feet and not to place them on the mixer bowl top edge. The Supervisor returned to the control panel console and again verbally asked Employee #1 if he was clear, and the response from Employee #1 was "yes." The Supervisor could only see Employee #1's face from the control panel console and did not know if his feet and legs were clear except by verbal conformation from the employee. Employee #1 had placed one foot onto the top edge of the mixer bowl. The vibration from the machine starting caused Employee #1 to slip into the mixing blade area of the mixer bowl. Employee #1 sustained an unspecified fracture and was hospitalized.
