Abstract: On November 11, 1992, Employee #1 was shoveling fallen debris back onto a rapidly moving conveyor belt. The conveyor belt was approximately 4 ft wide by 20 ft long, and inclined from the ground to a height of 9 ft. The pulley's belt and stabilizing rollers were not guarded. A pulley was located on each end of the conveyor belt. Employee #1 noticed refuse caught in the ground level pulley and tried to extract it with his shovel. The shovel became caught in the rotating pulley and the employee became entangled at the nip point between the belt and pulley. Employee #1 freed himself, but suffered lacerated tendons in his shoulder and chest area.
