Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a maintenance mechanic, was cleaning the tail pulley of the belt conveyor Number 4 in preparation to installing a 'centering rib' to correct problems with alignment that were experienced by the production crew. The power source of the belt was left 'ON' and not locked out because Employee #1 kept the belt running while using a short-handled brush to clean the drum surface. The brush caught the lower belt and pulled Employee #1's arm into the nip point between the belt and the drum. Employee #1's left arm was amputated at the shoulder. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
