The employee placed a wrench on the equipment shaft. A motor started unexpectedly, causing the shaft and attached wrench to rotate while the employee's hands were on the wrench. The wrench struck a frame member, and the employee's fingers were crushed between the wrench and frame. The employee suffered multiple fractures to bilateral fingers and was hospitalized.
