Because of the need for a mixer to process relatively large chunks of paper, and to have free flow around the blades, making one that would meet OSHA safety standards is going to be a challenge. My untow mixer is relatively safe if I put the top on and clamp it down before mixing, but it is more often run with the top open so I can add to the mix.
My barrel mixer is safer because it would be hard to crawl into it, and the blade is low enough that you cannot easily stick your hand into it while it is running. Even a small child would have difficulty crawling into that one.
