Investigation Summary
On July 3, 2013, Employee #1, an HVAC technician, was working at Universal Studios Hollywood cleaning and servicing an exhaust fan unit. The employee deenergized the power to the exhaust fan and placed a lock out device on the disconnect switch. Employee #1 then accessed the motor through an access panel. However, he did not block or locked the belt and pulley drive to prevent inadvertent movement. While Employee #1 had his hand in the service door, a wasp stung him in his right ear. As a result, he moved and his gloved right middle finger was pulled between the nip points of the belt and pulley drive. He immediately pulled his hand and realized that portion of his middle finger was amputated. He applied clean rag on the finger, energized the exhaust fan, and proceeded down the ladder. The employee notified his supervisor and proceeded to the nurse's station. After receiving first aid, Employee #1 was transported to St. Joseph Hospital for further medical treatment. The employee was later released.
