Narrative

The employee was performing the task of removing belts on the A.L. Fireroom hazardous bag house. The mechanic positioned a screw driver against the sheave and was prying the belt to remove it, at which time the screw driver slipped off the sheave resulting in his hand coming in contact with the pulley severing his left ring finger.
