Employee Is Struck by Belt Clamp and Sustains Fractures

At approximately 10:00 a.m. on February 25, 2007, Employee #1 and a coworker were replacing a conveyor belt used for scrap material at a mill. The coworker cut the belt and clamped a belt grip implement on it. Employee #1, using a forklift, attached a chain and belt grip to the rear of the forklift then drove forward hauling the belt from the conveyor. The belt got caught on a roller. Employee #1 added speed until the belt broke loose. The belt clamp came off the belt and struck Employee #1 in the face. Employee #1 suffered fractures to his left cheek bone and left eye socket and was hospitalized.
