Investigation Summary
On July 29, 2013, Employee #1, a 21-year-old male sanitation worker with S & S Foods LLC., was cleaning the exterior area of a horizontal mixer (Model Number SH-110-A; Serial Number 2000270) located in the Cryovac room. Employee #1 was standing on a six-foot portable ladder to scrub the far upper end corner. Employee #1 placed his left hand on the top ledge and or lip of the horizontal mixer for support while scrubbing the tank with his right hand. The horizontal mixer was running with water and sanitizer at the time. The top cover of the mixer was open, and Employee #1's left hand got caught by the moving equipment inside the mixer. Employee #1 pulled his left hand out, saw his hand and glove covered with blood and came down the ladder. A coworker assisted Employee #1 after the incident. Emergency Medical Services were summoned, and Employee #1 was taken to LAC USC County Medical Center via ambulance. There were no witnesses to the incident. The cause of the accident was the lack of a cover or enclosure with an interlocking device on the horizontal mixer, located in the Cryovac room. S&S Foods LLC is in the food service industry and is engaged in meat and poultry food manufacturing. Most products are initially raw; they are cooked, packaged, and sold on site. The employer has three meat production lines including the patty line, cook room, and steak line. They also have a sanitation department.
