Narrative

A maintenance employee was working on a barge in open water, replacing the belt on a deck winch. After replacing the belt and testing it, the employee was taking a picture of the model number on the belt when the machine started. His hand was pulled into the belt and pulley, resulting in a partial amputation to his index finger.
