Investigation Summary
At 3:00 a.m. on March 1, 2017, Employee #1, a supervisor employed by a nickel alloys manufacturer, was checking an unguarded drive belt on a conveyor shaker to visually assure that the belt was moving. The drive belt was in a low area, and the supervisor was on his knees. As the supervisor brushed a piece of scrap metal off his knee, he lost his balance and fell forward into the unguarded drive belt. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for the partial amputation of a fingertip and the fracture of the finger.
