Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was using a scrub pad to manually clean an activated incline belt conveyor and the associated nip points. His right arm became caught in an in-running nip point and suffered severe trauma. Employee #1 was transported to Valley Medical Center, Fresno, CA, for treatment. He had not been provided with extension tools, and the conveyor was not guarded. Due to an alleged conflict with food processing/health, there was no standardized cleaning procedure (e.g., run mode extension or stop mode, stopped or and locked out).
