Investigation Summary
At approximately 6:00 a.m. on November 27, 2021, an employee deenergized the unit fans from the building automation system (computer) and disconnected the interlocked door to the unit. The unit was shut down, and staff entered the space so they could hear which of the bearings might be failing. The fan motors were not energized, but there was still residual motion of the belt/pulley. The rate of rotation was very slow, but enough motion to allow for identification of which bearing might be failing. The employee placed his hand on one of the fan belts, and two fingers were rotated between the belt and wheel, resulting in amputation of two fingertips. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
