Incident on Jan 28, 2020: Employee sustains arm and wrist injuries when caught in mixe

At 7:45 p.m. on January 28, 2020, an employee working as a machine operator for a labor recruitment and staffing agency was working at a herbal tea manufacturer in the TBC Room. The employee was climbing a ladder to access the hopper of the Acma T2 Prima Technomeccanica Tea Bagging Machine #1 while the machine was still operational and fully energized. The employee removed the top cover of the hopper revealing the mixer, which was blending raw cinnamon and herbal tea blend. The employee placed her right hand into the hopper in an attempt to clean the inside. The moving mixer caught her lab coat right sleeve and began pulling at the sleeve, quickly wrapping around her wrist and forearm. The employee sustained lacerations, cuts, and bruises to her forearm and wrist, requiring hospitalization.
