Employee Is Injured When Tangled in Engine Driveshaft

With the vehicle's engine running, she raised the compartment's door and reached in to secure the oil dip stick, when loose clothing from her sleeve became tangled in the drive shaft and side mounted radiator cooling fan. The employee injured her upper left arm and was hospitalized for treatment and released less than 24 hours later.
