Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:15 a.m. on August 17, 2005, Employee #1, a crew leader in charge of a tomato picking crew, was working behind the conveyor belt of a tomato harvester. The harvester was at the beginning of the rows, preparing to make another pass. Employee #1 grabbed the fruit sizing belt to help make it go faster. At the same time, from his control station, the harvester's operator increased the belt's speed, and Employee # 1's hand became caught in the belt, resulting in the amputation of a finger on his right hand. He was hospitalized for his injury.
