Narrative

An employee went to the roof to repair a belt on a fan. The fan was turned off but was not completely done rotating at the time. The employee was trying to manually slow the fan when the moving belt pulled his hand inside the belt and rotated it through the pulley system, where it pinched off his left index fingertip.
