Narrative

Two employees were troubleshooting a wheel loader. One of them was unplugging a sensor on the transmission while the injured employee was looking at the alternator belt. The engine was started and the injured employee's right middle finger was pulled toward the alternator pulley, then pinched between it and the belt. The fingertip was partially amputated.
