No one says what this outfit produces.

CLACKAMAS, Ore. -- A person died at a Clackamas meat distribution
plant after falling into a large meat grinder Saturday, police said.

Deputies were called just before noon to the report of a death at
Interstate Meat Distributors, located at 9550 SE Last Road, said
Deputy Marcus Mendoza of the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.

Several workers from DCS Sanitation Management were cleaning the
facility and equipment when one of them apparently fell into a meat
grinder that was in operation, Mendoza said.

"Another worker realized something was wrong and activated an
emergency switch which stopped the equipment," Mendoza added.
"Unfortunately the worker was already deceased."

The victim's name was not released. The sheriff's office is
investigating, along with the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration.

According to an OSHA spokeswoman, DCS was inspected in 2001, 2002 and
2004 and found to have no OSHA violations.

I guess the plant got behind in its work.

The report on TV station kgw.com says it was a blender, not a grinder.
That would seem to make sense as being large enough for a worker to fall
into, basically a big tub with mixer paddle blades to tumble and blend
ground meat.

The accident happened at 11:45pm, it was a man working on the cleaning
crew. How tragic.

I agree that it is tragic. The same thing happens around here with
lumber and wood operations. I don't understand what a worker is doing
cleaning in/around an operating machine.
I still will be watching to see what kind of meat product comes from
there -- I just can't imagine eating something from there with any
equanimity.

I'm puzzled why the machine was operating as well. From what I know of
those operations, they normally shut down, the cleaning crew comes in to
pressure wash everything with sanitizer for a few hours and then things
restart. You generally aren't processing meat when the crew is spraying
hot bleach solution everywhere.

It brings a whole new meaning to "You are what you eat" lol

Reminds me of an old Joan Rivers routine about Tupperware caskets.
