Investigation Summary
On the morning of September 28, 1993, Employee #1, an experienced mechanic, was adjusting a slipping v-belt drive on an oscillating conveyor. Employee #1 locked out the motor controller and tagged it, retaining the key in his possession. He removed the guard and adjusted the belt. He then removed the lock and reset the disconnect. He returned to the conveyor and squatted near the running drive to watch for possible belt slippage. Employee #1 lost his balance and inadvertently reached to steady himself, catching his thumb in an in-running v-belt nip point.
