Narrative

Two mine mechanics were attempting to replace 6 worn belts for our primary crusher. These belts drive the flywheel that power the jaw of our crusher. While attempting to place the 4th belt on, the injured miner had his hand caught between pulley and belt. He fractured his left middle finger. It was locked out.
