Event: 04/13/1996

Employee's fingers amputated in belt and pulley

Employee #1 was changing the belts on a blower motor. The motor had been shut down by the operator using normal procedures, but Employee #1 removed the guard and started to work before the blower stopped turning. A dust cloud blew out and blinded him as he reached into the turning belt and pulley. Employee #1's fingers became caught in the machinery and were amputated. The machine was not intended to be locked out for changing the belts.
