Worker Amputates Fingertip While Cleaning Conveyor

At 4:00 p.m. on July 20, 2012, an employee was working as a member of a sanitation crew at Ramco Enterprises, L.P., in Moss Landing, CA. He was not a contract employee. He was using a hose to clean a conveyor belt. The machinery was guarded, but the employee removed the guard to do a better job of cleaning the apparatus. His right hand became stuck in a chain, and he sustained a partial amputation of a fingertip. The employee was taken to Watsonville Community Hospital, where he was treated and released after surgery. The accident was reported by the firm's safety compliance manager at 5:59 p.m. that same day.
