Narrative

Employees were working to remove and repair the shaft of an ACC unit. Power to the unit had been turned off but the wind caught the fan blades and the shaft was turning. The injured employee placed a nylon strap around the shaft to stop the rotation. His arm got caught in the strap and was pulled into a pinch point, resulting in a right forearm fracture that required hospitalization and surgery.
