Abstract: At 1:20 a.m. on March 31, 2020, an employee was working as a janitor at a citrus packing house. The employee worked for a sanitation company which was hired to perform cleaning and sanitization of conveyors and equipment. The employee was cleaning and wiping down a moving conveyor and rollers with a rag. The rollers and conveyor had to be on and running during cleaning, so an extension tool was provided to the employee. The employee did not use the tool and his rag was pulled in between the roller and a fixed tray which pulled in his left index finger. A coworker (site manager) was on site but did not witness the incident. The employee could not be reached for a statement. The employee amputated his finger and received medical treatment without hospitalization.
