Event: 09/21/2011
Employee Gets Left Foot and Leg Amputated by Auger

At approximately 7:45 a.m., on September 21, 2011, Employee #1 was opening gates in an annex. Employee #1 was walking on the trough that contained an auger that was partially guarded with a protective covering. The cover over the auger was not secured in place by bolts or other means. Employee #1 was watching the corn load into a truck and was unsure whether Employee #1's foot fell into unguarded opening of auger or if the top protective covering slid off resulting in an amputation of the left lower leg and foot. Protective covering was not bolted or clamped down. Employee #1 was transported to Wright Medical Hospital in Clarion, IA by ambulance and then from the hospital was transported by life flight to Methodist Hospital in Des Moines, IA.
