Narrative

A maintenance employee was changing a belt on a fan in a paint booth when the other fans in the booth turned on. This caused the employee's fan to spin, and his finger got caught between the belt and pulley. His left ring finger got crushed and was later amputated. His right index finger was injured and required stitches.
