The owner of a pasta company was placing ingredients in
a pasta machine. As she reached into the hopper, the sleeve
of her blouse became entangled with the rotating mixing
arm. As the mixing arm continued to rotate, her hand was
broken.
Safe work practices:
- Do not wear loose clothing when working on or around
machinery.
- Keep hands away from moving parts when adding ingredients.
- If you must reach inside the equipment to service machinery,
first shut down and lock out moving parts.
