Investigation Summary
At 5:30 a.m. on May 31, 2000, Employee #1, a master mechanic for Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water Company, was repairing a limit switch on a pallet conveyor. When the pallets reached the end of the conveyor, they dropped approximately 4 in. Employee #1 was adjusting the amount of drop (which was controlled by the switch) when a platform fell on his left hand. He was unable to free himself, and yelled to a nearby coworker, who helped him raise the platform and release his hand. Employee #1's left hand was crushed, requiring hospitalization and surgical repair . Although Employee #1 had locked out the electrical power to the platform, he did not physically block the platform to prevent its movement while he adjusted it.
