Worker loses arm in conveyer belt; no machine guarding
An employee of Lindenhurst-based Marley Building Materials was shoveling sand onto a conveyer belt Feb. 19th when his left arm got caught in the conveyer belt. His arm was amputated above the elbow.
A subsequent inspection by OSHA found that the conveyors in the production area were not guarded to prevent employees from being caught in conveyor moving parts during operation.
