Investigation Summary
At approximately 5:45 p.m. on May 10, 2006, Employee #1 was troubleshooting a problem with an electric motor for a conveyor system feeding a bagging machine in a grain mill. As Employee #1 was at the pallet loader's air table, diagnosing the problem with the conveyor, a coworker activated the table's mechanism. The mechanical doors opened, and Employee #1's foot became caught between the moving parts of the table and the fixed side. Employee #1 was taken to Kaweah Delta Hospital, where he was hospitalized and treated for a severe crushing injury to his foot.
