Narrative

An employee was working under a conveyor belt. When he reached for a non-moving part, his shirt sleeve was caught in the conveyor belt. His hand was then pulled into the belt, causing a strain and sprain to the wrist, minor burns from the belt's friction, and ligament tears on the first and second fingers.
