Cleanup employee's legs fractured when caught in conveyor

On April 18, 1991, Employee #1, a cleanup person for Snider Lumber Products Co., attempted to remove a block of wood that had fallen from a wide conveyor belt onto the area where the drum take-up pulleys are located. When he reached behind the protective guards over the cantilevered counterweight, he became caught between the in-running nip point of the revolving 36 in. wide by 18 in. diameter drum and the 36 in. wide conveyor belt. He was hospitalized with fractured legs.
