Employee Injures Eye When Welding Rod Falls from Conveyor

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. Employee #1 was positioned approximately 20 ft below the conveyor belt and used an extension tool (approximately 14ft long) to break the jam and free the package to continue traveling on the 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.
