Narrative

On October 25, 2023, an employee was removing boxes from a belt loader and placing them in a container. A small box flipped underneath the belt loader and was jammed between the conveyor belt and the loader boom. The employee attempted to free the box when his left arm and hand were caught beneath the moving belt, resulting in a left thumb dislocation and severe skin abrasions to his left hand and arm. The employee was hospitalized.
