2016 Video of the Week #38 (Foot Amputation – Guarding/HMI)

WARNING VIEWER Discretion Advised – this video may be upsetting to some viewers as it shows the painstaking mistake a worker makes by using his foot to push material into a feed auger.  In this video we can see the worker standing in the “dump chute” manually feeding material into an auger hopper.  It appears this worker was comfortable doing this task as he did not think twice about doing it.  The auger grabs his foot and pulls him into the auger.  Sad to sad, the auger twisted off his foot and this saved his life as he was not fully pulled into the auger which would have undoubtedly killed him.
