## Narrative

Employee had been driving a ground rod and as he was catching his breath, he leaned on an old stacker belt assembly (the stacker assembly did not have any power source attached) and his hand moved the poly-belt attached between the motor and speed reducer resulting in his right ring finger being caught between the pulley and belt causing a fracture to the tip of his finger.
