Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:00 a.m. on October 6, 1989, Employee #1 was cleaning out a conveyors roller by removing the wastepaper that was stuck between the roller and the conveyors belt. The establishment consisted of a wastepaper recycling facility which utilizes a shop made conveyor which was equipped with a belt that measured 41.5-ft-long by 36-in.-wide by .375-in.-thick. The conveyor is operated at 240 volts and runs about 1750 rpm with a 24:64:1 gear box. The conveyors belt was not guarded nor was it equipped with an emergency stop at the operator's station. Employee #1's right hand was caught between the 5.5-in. diameter roller and the conveyor belt and was pulled into the pinch point by the rotating action of the belt. Employee #1 suffered multiple injuries which included his right forearm and head and was pronounced dead by the medical examiner.
