Investigation Summary
EMPLOYEE #1 WAS WORKING NEAR THE SHEAR DRIVE OIL SYSTEM IN THE ROLLING MILL WHEN HE NOTICED THAT THE BELTS ON THE MOTOR FOR THE OIL SYSTEM WERE SLIPPING. HE SHUT DOWN AND LOCKED OUT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MOTOR AND APPLIED PERMATEX TO THE BELTS. HE THEN WALKED APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET BACK TO THE MAIN POWER SWITCH, REMOVED HIS LOCK AND TURNED THE POWER BACK ON. WHEN HE RETURNED TO THE MOTOR HE STATED THAT THE BELTS WERE STILL SLIPPING. THE BELT GUARDS HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED, SO HE DECIDED TO APPLY MORE PERMATEX WHILE THE MOTOR WAS RUNNING. WITHIN A MINUTE'S TIME, ONE OF THE BELTS CAUGHT THE RUBBER GLOVE HE WAS WEARING AND PULLED HIS FINGERS INTO THE PULLEY. TWO OF HIS FINGERS WERE AMPUTATED.
