Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was assigned to replace flats on an inclined conveyor. The sheet metal covers on the top of the conveyor had been removed and tied to the handrails of a nearby stairway. Employee #1 was working on the conveyor from below when one 40 in. plate became dislodged and bounced down the stairs. It struck his right arm, fracturing and lacerating it above and below the elbow. He was transported to Redlands Community Hospital, where he underwent surgery to insert pins in the bones of his arm.
