Narrative

An employee was using a vertical belt sander to smooth the edges of a 3-inch by approximately 14-inch piece of steel. The employee used his hands to tilt the back end of the piece of steel upwards in order to sand it at one end when the belt grabbed the piece of steel, causing his left index finger to be caught between the belt and the piece of steel. His left index fingertip was amputated.
