Narrative

Maintenance technicians were tasked with a partial rebuild of the slurry booster pump. Following the repair, Technician A was spinning the impeller sheave to place the impeller into position. Technician B grabbed the belts to help aid the rotation when EE's hand slipped causing the ring and middle fingers on the left hand to become pinched between the motor sheave and the belts.
