Employees were standing on a loader bucket trying to free a conveyor head pully. The loader operator in error dumped the men off pinning one between the bucket and the conveyor. The injured employee was transported to the hospital and found to have no broken bones or internal injuries. Contributing factors were the cold wet weather and disregard of company policy.
