Girl’s Hair Pulled Out By Office Desk Fan

(London, UK) A female office worker had to be rushed to hospital when her hair got caught up in the rotating blades of a desk fan, leading to servere blood loss and lacerations to the scalp. Emily Hutnyk, 24, an administrative assistant at a major telecommunications firm in the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea, was trying to cope with the recent heatwave in the UK . Temperatures in London soared to a record-breaking 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) in early July, leading to unbearable working conditions in many workplaces. As many of us frequently do during the summer, Miss Hutnyk decided to use a desk fan while she worked to try and keep cool. However the heat and humidity was so intense that she kept moving the fan closer to her face to try and get the most out of it. Tragically, her long hair suddenly got pulled in between the fan grilles and trapped in the blades with horrific consequences. Only a few seconds later a clump of the victim’s long blonde hair had been caught by the blades and forcefully pulled out of her scalp, together with a significant amount of skin. “It was over really fast actually”, said Miss Hutnyk, “in fact I think it was worse for my co-workers to watch – personally I passed out within seconds so I barely remember it. I think my co-workers were acutally the traumatised ones – apparently my blood went everywhere.” An ambulance was called and she was rushed to hospital, where she required 12 stitches on her scalp. Doctors are said to be considering hair implants to repair the damaged scalp once the wound has healed fully.

“This was a terrible accident,” said a company spokesman later. “It is something we want to avoid happening again and we’ll be reviewing the provision of cooling appliances in the office. We will be fitting each office with a ceiling fan and banning the use of desk fans to prevent these kinds of incidents in the future.” For general workers union GMB, however, this response was completely inadequate. “Essentially the cause of these kinds of problems is that our workplaces in the UK are simply not set up to deal with hot weather – and to be honest a ceiling fan is not enough. We are demanding that every office in the UK be fitted with at least a portable air conditioner both to help people concentrate on their work and ensure this kind of tragedy never happens again.” Miss Hutnyk, at the unions advice, is currently considering whether to pursue legal action against the company, which could be a landmark case in health and safety and employment law.
