Narrative

EE was operating drill rig and wanted to check the level of heat coming out of vent system. The cab heater was not blowing warm air. He reached up to feel the air coming out of the heater duct and his fingers contacted the squirrel type fan. The fan cut three of his fingers on his left hand near the ends. His index finger was nicked and the other two required 12 stitches.
