Narrative

A maintenance employee was attempting to realign an overhead conveyor belt while on a scissor lift. While attempting to reach up and pull a lever, he started to lose his balance. To steady himself, he reached his left hand up into the conveyor belt and his glove was caught in the belt, leading to a deep abrasion on the top of his left hand that required surgery.
