Narrative

IE was replacing a g-bolt on a screw conveyor gear box, after locking out the screw the IE attempted to rotate the screw to line up the bolt holes. IE did this by grabbing the drive belts to rotate the shive. This pulled the IEs right ring finger in to a pinch point causing a laceration that required 3 stitches.
