Narrative

Plant was replacing an auger that was suspended with rigging straps. The motor and drive were attached, offset and balancing at the 12:00 position. The motor & drive unexpectedly became unbalanced and rolled to the 6:00 position, pinching the employees right hand. Cuts to the index and middle fingers required stitches. Improper rigging allowed the motor and drive to roll.
