## Narrative

An employee was changing v-belts on the portable plant. The motor was lowered to reduce tension, but some tension on the belts still remained. As the employee removed the belts the tip of his finger got caught in a pinch point between the belt and the wheel, this required the employee to have a couple of stitches on the tip of his finger.
