Investigation Summary
At 10:47 p.m. on February 15, 2021, an employee was front loading cores onto a conveyor. A core fell to the ground near the elevator portion of the conveyor system. While the line was in operation, the employee jumped over the lower front conveyor to access the dropped core and placed it back onto the moving conveyor. While placing the core onto the conveyor system, the employee's upper torso was caught in between the moving elevator platform and the upper conveyor system asphyxiating and killing the employee.
