Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and a coworker were recycling glass. Employee #1 pushed the switch to start the machine, but it did not energize. He then reached up with his left hand and pulled on an unguarded V-belt. The motor started, drawing Employee #1's hand into the pulley and amputating the end of his left ring finger.
