Narrative

IE and another EE were adjusting the tracking of a conveyor belt. After completing that task, IE went inside the guard and reached into the conveyor belt to clean out material. A roller grabbed the pliers he was using and pulled his hand and arm inside. The other EE hit the E-stop, but the hand and arm was severely damaged.
