Narrative

An employee was trying to clean built-up product from the sensor/photo eye of the conveyor on a weigh blend system, which was failing to start after being calibrated. The tray of the conveyor actuated, and the tray's reciprocating motion caught the employee's arm, fracturing the left humerus. The machine was not locked out at the time of the incident.
