Narrative

An employee was rebuilding a puller machine and had it locked out. The employee then re-energized and started the machine. Sometime after the machine was operational, the employee dropped a wrench on the floor next to the machine and attempted to pick it up with his right hand. His left hand was then pulled into the machine's belt and pulley system. The belt and pulley system was unguarded at the time.
