Investigation Summary
On May 7, 2002, Employee #1 was working in the refrigerator assembly line area when a piece of shipping cardboard became jammed in the transfer robot. He entered the caged area near the conveyor to clear the jam. At the same time, a coworker at the controls put the machine in manual mode and tried to release the robot arms. When the coworker did this, Employee #1's left leg became pinned between the pusher and the conveyor, and it remained caught for several minutes before coworkers were able to free him. Employee #1 suffered severe bruising to his leg but did not require hospitalization.
