As the man cleaned a conveyor belt, at Dunlop Drymix in Feilding, late in 2021 - his right arm was grabbed by rollers.
Surgeons couldn't reattach his arm, and he remains off work.
WorkSafe's established the conveyor's emergency stop was non-functional - and the off switch was in the next warehouse.
