Narrative

An employee was going to retrieve the manufacturer part number off the blower pulley sheave. After looking at the sheave, EE decided to remove the bolt that was holding the sheave. EE grabbed the bolt and twisted it out of position. In doing so, EE's right ring finger was grabbed by the belt and pulled into the sheave.
