On March 1, 2023, at 2:34 a.m., a maintenance employee responded to a work order on a conveyor belt that was making noise from the line. The employee removed the belly pan from underneath the conveyor system to visualize and troubleshoot it, and then left to clean the pan. When the employee came back to the conveyor line, he saw some debris under the roller where he had removed the belly pan. He attempted to brush it off when his right hand became caught in-between the roller and the conveyor frame, resulting in abrasions to the top of his right hand.
