Her employer’s workman’s comp insurance will take a bath on this accident that was totally preventable had the most elementary safety rules been followed. As a result of the accumulative effect of these kinds of accidents, every workman’s comp company will eventually have to raise their rates. The employers will wail and scream.
“...the most elementary safety rules been followed.”
You are absolutely correct. I grew up around conveyor belts as my family owned a fruit and vegetable packing house and every one I ever saw had an easily accessible master shutdown button. Further more, hair like that would be an open invitation to a dangerous situation so why wasn’t her hair in a net? Are there no safety laws, shop requirements, or anyone held responsible for this type of possibility? A whole lot of people are in the wrong especially the victim herself. But the family collect on it.
