At 11:00 a.m. on January 19, 2022, an employee was activating a photo sensor eye to get a conveyor to run so he could watch and listen for a grinding noise comi ng from the conveyor. After activating the conveyor several times by waving his hand in front of the sensor and then listening and observing, the employee belie ved the noise was the result of the two plastic conveyor belts rubbing.
