A 24-year-old refuse collector died as a result of being crushed by the compactor blade of a refuse truck. The victim had reached into the truck compactor compartment to salvage a piece of brass from a discarded lavatory. The compactor blade inadvertently activated and the victim could not escape. The MO FACE investigator concluded that to prevent future similar occurrences employers should: (1) develop, implement and enforce a comprehensive safety program that includes, but not limited to, training in hazard recognition and avoidance; (2) install warning lights and warning sound indicators when compactor mechanism is engaged.
