Blue Water Industries · Struck by... (Not Elsewhere Classified)
Employee was using a piece of rebar in an attempt to dislodge a rock that was wedged between the conveyor frame and the head pulley of the VSI crusher feed conveyor. In doing this, the rebar got between the head pulley and the belt while it was running. This caused the rebar to strike both of EE's hands resulting in the amputation of the left thumb and the tip of the right thumb.
