Employee fractures and lacerates hand in unexpected restart

At 7:50 p.m. on August 28, 2019, an employee was running the Roto Line when the Royer Sand Throwing Conveyor stopped working. The employee attempted to get the conveyor to restart by turning it on and off when he found that there was a piece of metal jammed in the conveyor. The employee reached in to clear the jam. When he removed the jammed metal, the conveyor restarted and pulled his left hand into the running nip point, causing fractures and lacerations to his left hand. The employee was hospitalized for treatment.
