Investigation Summary
At 3:15 p.m. on June 30, 2020, Employee #1 and an outside service technician were working on a Volvo ECR145DL excavator air conditioning pump.

The belt and pulley grabbed Employee #1's left middle finger into the pinch point. Employee #1 sustained a partial amputation of the left middle finger. Employee #1 was treated without hospitalization.
