Investigation Summary
Employee #1 worked for Patio Industries, a company that manufactured concrete products such as "wall-a-rock", concrete patio furniture, and patio and walkway pavers. On the day of the accident, he was adjusting the belt on a "wall-a-rock" machine. This required him to squat down because the belt was approximately 28 in. above the ground. Employee #1 tried to change his position and lost his balance. When he put out his left arm to steady himself, it became caught by the machine and was pulled into the belt's back roller. Employee #1 sustained fractures, crushing injuries, and nerve damage to his arm.
