Narrative

An employee was troubleshooting an HVAC system that was making a squeaking noise at the belt. The employee applied pressure to the belt, which then made contact with the pulley system and pulled the employee's left hand into the system. As a result, the employee suffered a partial amputation of the left index finger.
