Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:45 a.m. on February 2, 2017, Employee #1 was checking the tension on a belt to determine why the chip disc scalper stopped running. He pulled an unsecured guard backwards that was protecting the belt and pulley and placed his hand on the belt to check the tension. A coworker, the machine operator, started the chip disc scalper and Employee #1's finger was caught between the belt and pulley, amputating his fingertip. Employee #1 was not hospitalized.
