Abstract: On January 27, 2011, Employee #1 was assisting his foreman with a conveyor. As the foreman lowered the conveyor head into the transport position, Employee #1 walked forward to align it with the post. The right conveyor hinge failed. This caused the conveyor to drop down and outward, striking the employee. The conveyor head landed on the employee's pelvis, and he suffered a hip fracture.
