Abstract: At about 12:40 p.m. on June 21, 2012, Employee #1, with Spa Farm Labor Contractor, Inc., was working as part of a crew emptying onion sacks on an onion loading machine. The machine picks up onion sacks that are in the field through a metal rod conveyor. Employee # 1 was supposed to hold each onion sack open as it crested over the conveyor. The onions then dropped out on a transverse conveyor that loaded them onto a trailer. One of the empty sacks became entangled on a sprocket and was being pulled into the conveyor. Employee #1 pulled on the sack, and the pinch point, created by gears that the metal rod conveyor rides on, caught his glove and his right middle finger, partially amputating his finger.
