Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:50 p.m. on July 20, 2009, Employee #1, a service technician working for Polar Barr Air Conditioning, was servicing air conditioning units on the roof of a restaurant. He used a ladder from inside the building to access the roof. Once on the roof, he began changing the filters and belts on the exhaust fan and air conditioning units. He was using a screw driver to remove the belt from the exhaust fan, when the screw driver slipped. His left index finger became caught between the belt and pulley and was partially amputated up to the first knuckle. His injury did not require hospitalization.
