Employee's leg fractured by pipe moving on conveyor

Employee #1, an assistant tacker operator, was returning from inspecting the conveyor roller drive belts on an automated tacker in-feed conveyor in a pipe manufacturing plant. He was crossing the conveyor line on an elevated walkway extension when he was struck by a 40 ft long by 32 in. diameter steel pipe moving on the conveyor. His lower left was fractured when it became caught between the pipe and the roller or conveyor. The walkway area where Employee #1 was crossing was not guarded or railed to prevent access while the conveyor was moving.
