Investigation Summary
At around 4:00 p.m. on February 26, 2019, an employee was using his right hand to "free-wheel" a belt/pulley that connects a motor to a Sharpels P-3000 Centrifuge in order to determine where a sound was coming from. The employee kept spinning the belt/pulley faster until his right hand came into contact with the pinch point, where the belt comes into contact with the pulley. At this point, the belt/pulley amputated the tip of his right third digit and caused fractures and lacerations to the fourth and fifth digits on his hand. The employee was not hospitalized.
