Abstract: At 8:15 a.m. on December 28, 2018, an employee was removing the guard for a belt and pulley system on an industrial motor. Without turning off and locking out the power, the employee removed the guard for the belt and pulley system and tried to check the belt tension by reaching into the machine and pushing the belts down with his right hand. When the belt and pulley system re-started, the belts pulled his hand through the in-running nip point of the belts, severely lacerating his right middle finger, and resulting in a fracture and permanent nerve damage.
