Employee's forearm fractured when pinned by conveyor

At approximately 10:35 p.m. on September 12, 1994, Employee #1 was removing a loaf of bread that was traveling on a conveyor. The conveyor is equipped with a gate that travels up to a top conveyor line and down to a bottom (bread wrapper #1) conveyor line. The gate operates hydraulically with two actuators operating at 350 psi. The conveyor automatically raised up to the top conveyor line and pinned Employee #1's right forearm between the conveyor and the conveyor line for bread wrapper #1. Employee #1 was transported by paramedics to Kaiser Hospital in Sacramento, where he was admitted for treatment of a compound fracture of his forearm. The gate was not guarded at the time of the accident.
