Narrative

Two employees were changing out a belt on a piece of equipment. They locked out the machine and were pulling belts on a pulley. The first employee was aligning the belt around the next groove when the second employee manually gave the shaft another turn, trapping the first employee's finger under the belt and above the pulley. His left index fingertip was amputated.
