## Narrative

An employee was cleaning debris from and around a conveyor with an air hose when his arm was caught in the conveyor's pulley, causing him to be pulled into the running belt.

The conveyor's guards were removed at the time of the incident to identify why material was getting stuck in the conveyor.
