## Narrative

Employee was working on changing the belts on separator fan on mill 4. They had locked everything out and tried. As they were removing the belts the fan rotated and smashed the right thumb and tore off the fingernail on the left thumb as well as the skin. It looks like with other equipment running airflow caused the fan to move.
