Employee fractures arm when struck by depalletizer door

At 1:30 p.m. on October 2, 2019, an employee was sweeping and picking up bottles when he reached into the conveyor area in front of the depalletizer machine's doors to pick up a bottle off the floor. When the machine finished emptying the pallet that was inside, the doors automatically opened outward to allow a full pallet to enter the machine. The employee's arm was caught between one of the doors and the conveyor frame. The employee was hospitalized to treat a fractured and lacerated arm.
