Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:00 p.m. on January 8, 2014, Employee #1 was working as an Operations Manager for FedEx Ground Packaging System Inc. The employee was clearing a jammed package located on the overhead conveyor.

A piece of a welding rod fell from the conveyor through the rollers into Employee #1's eye. The employee reported to an area hospital, where he was treated for a puncture and tears in his eye and damage to his retina and lens and was then hospitalized.
