Narrative

Two maintenance employees were working on a locked-out fan. The breaking device came out of place and air movement in the room caused the fan to rotate slowly. One employee went to stop the fan and his left middle fingertip was pulled into a pinch point between the belt and sheave. The fingertip was partially amputated at the fingernail. The fingertip was later re-attached.
