Investigation Summary
On the afternoon of July 21, Employee #1 was working in the pit of a grizzly, shoveling coal that had fallen off the conveyor onto the conveyor belt. He apparently did not realize that the shovel was near the tail pulley of the conveyor. The shovel became caught in the pulley, and he fell on the back of the bottom belt. Both of his arms went into the pulley and his body struck against the pulley brace, severing both arms between the elbow and shoulder. Employee #1 landed on the top belt of the conveyor, struck the shaker, and came to rest on the opposite side of the machine. He was killed. Neither the tail pulley nor the nip points of the entire conveyor system were guarded.
