The other white meat?
The death of a Hamilton county woman who became caught in an industrial machine early Sunday morning at Gold Kist Poultry Plant when the power was turned on is being investigated by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) officials.
Around 3:40 a.m. March 29, Tammy E. Johnson was finishing up her duties at the plant when Sheriff's Office Lt. Tom Warren said she got her arm caught in the sprockets of a machine that was turned on by another employee. Warren said another worker heard her scream and immediately hit the emergency off button.. That's when the co-worker found her caught in the machine.
According to Warren, the woman was given first aid until she could be removed from the machine and was then transported by stretcher to meet Suwannee County EMS. She was transported to Shands at Live Oak where she was pronounced dead.
