## Narrative

A rubber tire dozer operator was setting at the shovel waiting to do some work. There was a ceiling mounted heater in the cab, with a defusser/guard missing. He reached his right hand into the hole to see if the filter was missing also. The tip of his middle finger contacted the fan and was lacerated. Six sutures were required to close the wound and he was released to full duty.
