Investigation Summary
At 5:00 p.m. on November 21, 1994, Employee #1 and a coworker, working for a manufacturer of fiberglass insulation, were doing repairs at the outlet end of the #6 roll conveyor, near the inlet end of the #7 roll conveyor. Employee #1 was replacing the belt on roll conveyor #6. He was beginning to thread the belt up through the bottom of the #6 and #7 end rolls when his arm became caught in the running #7 end roll and pulled between the two adjacent rollers. The #7 conveyor was immediately turned off and the machinery dismantled to free Employee #1's arm. He suffered a crushed forearm that required surgical repair. The 6 in. diameter, 4 ft wide rollers were at a height of approximately 39 in., and there was a 1 1/4 in. space between them. The cause of the accident was failure to lock out both roller conveyors.
