‘Significant injuries’: Terrifying moment worker gets arm caught in conveyor belt
June 30, 2021
A MAN in his 40s has been taken to Gold Coast University hospital after getting his arm stuck in a conveyor belt in Tweed Heads on Wednesday morning.
Three NSW ambulance crews and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter with a critical care doctor and critical care paramedic on-board attended the incident on Enterprise Ave at 11am.
NSW Ambulance inspector Chris Bryant said he was lucky to have his colleagues with him to help before paramedics arrived.
“The man suffered a significant injury to his arm, paramedics along with other emergency services did a great job extricating the man from the machine and treating his injuries,” Mr Bryant said.
“His colleagues did an amazing job assisting him until paramedics arrived.
“It’s important to have safety measures in place with a first aid kit to prepare for these types of emergencies at a workplace.”
The man was transported to Gold Coast University Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
