Investigation Summary
On June 30, 2009, a worker was employed by Perdue Farms and performed tasks in the boneless breast department. His assigned tasks included cleaning and drying machines, ceilings, walls, and floors for USFDA inspections. After the worker finished cleaning operations, he went to get a Patterson high velocity 30 in. fan to dry the ceilings and walls. He placed the fan into position and plugged in the power cord. Once the fan was plugged in, it began to slowly roll backward. One of the wheels on the fan hit the floor trough drain and started to tip over. The worker reached his hands out in an attempt to keep the fan from falling. As his hands came into contact with the fan, the guard broke. The worker's hands entered the back of the fan and were struck by the rotating blades. He suffered an amputation and was hospitalized.
