Narrative

Employees working on screener in stone plant. After de-activating the power supply and locking out, went to remove the ""v-belt"" from the drive motor and had to use a wrench to brace the belt back from the motor. Tension from the pulley released when the employee completed a full rotation causing the wheel and belt to turn freely catching his finger between the tool and machinery.
