Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:30 a.m. on July 2, 2008, Employee #1 was performing normal job duties of troubleshooting and maintenance activities to a motor/gearbox for a fixed conveyor indoors at Pro-Pak Industries, Inc. The motor was located immediately adjacent to the path of a United Pentex power transferable conveyor car that travels at 100 ft/min and weighs approximately 5500 pounds. Employee #2 was operating the powered transfer car as Employee #1 was in a kneeled position at the fixed conveyor motor. Employee #2 did not see Employee #1 and unintentionally struck Employee #1. Employee #1 attempted to move out of the transfer car's path; however, his right leg became caught between the fixed conveyor and the transfer car. Employee #2 stopped the transfer car once he/she heard and saw Employee #1 fall on top of the transfer car. The right leg of Employee #1 was degloved from approximately the ankle to the knee. The powered transfer car includes a collapsible/crush bumper intended to stop the machine when pressure is put on the bumper; however, Employee #1 was caught in a 2-3 inch gap where the bumper did not guard. The injured employee was transported and admitted to Toledo Hospital in Toledo, Ohio.
