Employee #1 saw there was some oil on the frame of the compressor on the floor and clean it with a rag. The rag was caught by the v-belt and pulley when Employee #1 energized the power of the compressor. Employee #1 then deenergized the compressor took off the v-belt and recovered the rag from the pulley. Employee #1 then turned the power back on the compressor when he noticed that the rear belt was twisted.

Employee #1 was able to free his right hand and he called his supervisor for help. Employee #1 had surgery on his right pinky tip and they shave some bone on his ring finger to make it even.
