Abstract: At 12:00 a.m. on January 27, 2020, an employee was entering the area to start cleaning activity when he tripped on a conveyor frame member, lost his balance and fell forward. In an attempt to regain balance the employee reached out with his right hand that went between the overhead conveyor and a roller. While trying to pull his right hand free, the employee's left hand also got caught between the conveyor and roller. The employee's arms were pulled into the pinch point of the conveyor and roller, up to his shoulders with his head and hard hat compressed against the conveyor belt. The force of the employee against the conveyor belt caused the electric motor to trip the control power and turn off. The employee was removed form the pinch point and taken to a local medical center for treatment and was admitted for an overnight stay.
