## Narrative

While completing a repair of a conveyor belt, he was removing the belt clamp from the belt. Turning a nut at one end of the clamp, the clamp released unexpectedly. The force of the upper portion of the clamp releasing, pinched his left little finger between the clamp and the frame of the belt. The left little finger was pinched and the nail was torn out.
