Narrative

Superintendent locked out and tagged out the crusher run belt to remove a blockage of material which had stopped the belt. The belt was cut on and off more than once during the process and the v-belts were replaced on the motor. The superintendent failed to disengage the starter switch during the last LOTO and their thumb was smashed in the v-belt.
