Narrative

An employee was performing ground tests on an aircraft engine to check for leaks on an exhaust fan. He noticed oil on the alternator surface. He wiped off the oil with a shop rag and his finger contacted the exhaust fan. He sustained a laceration/avulsion to the right index finger leading to partial amputation and surgery.
