Abstract: Employee #1 was in a motor transport repair shop, installing a fan belt on a passenger bus (Ford engine MST 2600). He was leaning over the open engine compartment next to the driver's seat at the front of the passenger bus. When he slipped and contacted the keys, which were in the ignition, the engine jogged over enough to pinch his right index finger between the fan belt and pulley. The finger was amputated.
