Incident on May 22, 2021: Employee crushes finger in belt and pulley, later amputated
At 2:29 p.m. on May 22, 2021, an employee working as a team lead for a spice and extract manufacturer accessed the roof area of the facility to bring a B52 belt to a coworker. The employee noted that the saw dust dryer was turned off after it became clogged within either the piping and/or the conveyor system. The piping from the saw dust dryer was being suctioned up to the roof of the facility feeding the Riverside 1040 screw conveyor which ran the length of the building approximately 60 feet. The screw conveyor was equipped with slide gates that directed the saw dust into the storage bins while operating. The screw conveyor was powered by an electric motor connected to an electrical disconnect next to the conveyor. There were no start or stop buttons for the conveyor line on the roof and flipping the disconnect switch controlled the motion of the conveyor. The employee was in the process of unclogging the saw dust and replacing the motor belt. There was miscommunication regarding the proper belt size for the motor drive. The team had removed the expanded metal guard from the belt and pulley. At about the same time, the coworker removed the lockout device from electrical disconnect. The employee was able to look through an inspection port on the top of the conveyor housing to observe if the screw conveyor was turning. As the employee turned the disconnect switch on, the employee touched the belt on the in-running nip point side to check the belt tension. The employee's left hand was pulled into the nip point crushing his index finger. The employee was hospitalized and 1/3rd of his finger required surgical amputation.

29 CFR 1910.1200(e)(1)
(e) Written hazard communication program. (1) Employers shall develop, implement, and maintain at each workplace, a written hazard communication program which at least describes how the criteria specified in paragraphs (f), (g), and (h) of this section for labels and other forms of warning, safety data sheets, and employee information and training will be met, and which also includes the following:
29 CFR 1910.1200(h)
(h) Post-mortem data: Increased incidence and/or severity of post-mortem findings may be indicative of maternal toxicity. This can include gross or microscopic pathological findings or organ weight data, including absolute organ weight, organ-to-body weight ratio, or organ-to-brain weight ratio. When supported by findings of adverse histopathological effects in the affected organ(s), the observation of a significant change in the average weight of suspected target organ(s) of treated dams (mothers), compared to those in the control group, may be considered evidence of maternal toxicity.
29 CFR 1910.132(a)
(a) Application. Protective equipment, including personal protective equipment for eyes, face, head, and extremities, protective clothing, respiratory devices, and protective shields and barriers, shall be provided, used, and maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition wherever it is necessary by reason of hazards of processes or environment, chemical hazards, radiological hazards, or mechanical irritants encountered in a manner capable of causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body through absorption, inhalation or physical contact.
