Investigation Summary
On May 24, 2005, Employee #1, a service technician of heating and air conditioning equipment, was working on an air conditioning unit in a commercial building. Employee #1 locked the air conditioning unit off and then accessed the roof to service the unit. As Employee #1 reached into the unit, a strong gust of wind came about and caused the blades of the unit's fan blades. His left hand came into contact with the unit's belt, crushing it. Employee #1 was hospitalized and treated for the amputation of his left pinky finger. His left middle finger was injured as well.
