Narrative

EE was attempting to repair the column feed pump that was located in the basement of the prep plant. Another EE pushed the large sprocket & belt while EE pulled the belt toward him. While doing this, he looked away from the belt & got his finger caught in between the cogged V belt & drive pulley. He immediately jerked his hand out when he felt his finger become pinched.
