On October 18, 2012, Employee #1, a 24-year-old male with Brunkan Equipment Inc., was servicing a customer's stirring machine in a grain bin on the customer's farm near Wyoming, Iowa. The employee was standing on a ladder that had been placed in the corn. Once the employee had climbed onto the ladder, it started to slide sideways. The employee grabbed a rotating pulley with an exposed rotating pulley and v-belt. The end of his finger was caught in a pinch point between the pulley and v-belt, amputating the tip of his middle finger on his left hand. Employee #1 was hospitalized as a result of this event. | |||||||
