Investigation Summary
At 8:45 p.m. on September 22, 2017, Employee #1 was standing at the start end of an inclined feed conveyor, placing scrap metal on the belt to be transported to a fragmentizer. A fragment of scrap metal came down the bottom of the conveyor and lodged in the in-running nip point of the belt and head pulley. The employee attempted to pull the material out, but his glove became caught in the nip point. Employee #1's lower left arm was pulled off. He was hospitalized for the injury.
