Narrative

An employee was installing v-belts on a set of rolls on a rolling table that was isolated at the time. The employee was using a pipe wrench to manually turn the rolls so that the v-belt could be installed when his left finger became caught in the nip point of the belt and pulley, resulting in a fingertip amputation.
