Investigation Summary
On November 18, 2002, a serious injury accident occurred at the packing house operated by Harding and Leggett, Inc. Employee #1, a plant manager, was turning on a new set of conveyor belts that sort and grade fruit. This has a set of four 14-inch conveyor belts that are driven by one motor. The Number 3 belt was not moving, and Employee #1 grabbed the side of the belt to pull on it to get it to move without deenergizing the motor. The belt engaged and pulled Employee #1's right ring fingertip into the conveyor drum roller and amputated the fingertip. Employee #1 was taken to Sierra Kings Hospital for emergency treatment.
