Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 201034063
Event: 12/23/2001
Employee's finger partially amputated in conveyer

At around 10:15 pm on December 23, 2001, Employee #1 was removing packages from a 12-in.-wide by 6-ft-long belt conveyor. The conveyor had a worn spot near the belt joint that had been previously pointed out to his supervisor, but no repairs were made. The hole in the belt subsequently increased in size to approximately 5 in. by 1 in. While about to lift a package from the belt, Employee #1's finger slipped through the hole and into the conveyor roller's nip point area. His finger tip was amputated and he was hospitalized at Harbor General Hospital. The accident was caused by failure to repair, and continuing to use defective equipment.
