## Narrative

An employee was servicing a boiler at a client location. The employee was removing the belt from the motor on the outside of the boiler when the boiler started up, causing the power transmission belt to grab his finger and pull it into the ingoing nip point between the belt and pulley, amputating the tip of his left middle finger. The boiler was not locked out at the time.
