Investigation Summary
ON JUNE 7, 1984, AT 2:30, AN OVERHEAD STURDY-BILT BELT CONVEYOR BECAME JAMMED WITH BOXED MATERIAL. THE JAM TRIGGERED AN ELECTRIC EYE, WHICH STOPPED THE CONVEYOR. EMPLOYEE #1 STEPPED ONTO THE CONVEYOR AND REMOVED THE JAM. THE ELECTRIC EYE REACTIVATED THE CONVEYOR, WHICH CAUGHT THE EMPLOYEE'S FOOT AND LEG BETWEEN A POWER ROLLER AND TWO IDLER ROLLERS. THIS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED IF A PROPER LOCKOUT PROCEDURE HAD BEEN USED BEFORE THE EMPLOYEE STEPPED ONTO THE CONVEYOR, OR IF A POLE HAD BEEN USED TO CLEAR THE JAM.
