An employee had been loading the concrete plant and prepping the plant for the morning's work. The employee was using a hammer to clean the lower deadman slack pulley on a conveyor belt. The employee's right hand became caught in the running conveyor system and was crushed, resulting in amputation of the ring finger to the second knuckle and an amputation of the thumb, as well as lacerations to the finger and thumb. The employee required surgery.
