Abstract: Employee # 1, a floor sweeper, was cleaning the floor around the #2 picking line. She noticed some tobacco leaves had accumulated at the pulley housing for the take-away conveyor, located 9 in. above the floor inside a 1 3/4 in. wide by 5 1/2 in. long opening for air cleaning. When Employee #1 stuck her left hand into the cleaning opening, her fingers became caught in the conveyor belt, fracturing her middle finger. It was a coworker's responsibility to clean out this area with an air hose.
