Abstract: At 9:30am on May 6, 2008, Employee #1 was helping relocate a conveyor belt assembly. The conveyor had been suspended by a crane, and the crew was attempting to guide the conveyor to an open area where the conveyor could be spun 180 degrees, then reinstalled. Upon moving the conveyor, a floor hole was more exposed. The conveyor made contact with a solid object located on the west side of the conveyor. Employee #1 moved toward the west to help reposition the conveyor, and he fell through the floor hole, suffering a fracture. Employee #1 was hospitalized for treatment.
