An employee working in the mixing department sustained a serious injury to his left arm/shoulder. The employee noticed rubber between the takeaway belt and the end roll, which made the belt pull to one side. The employee began jogging the belt to remove the rubber. His hand got caught between the roll and belt, which pulled him in up to his shoulder.
