Employee Loses Part of His Finger in Fan Belt

At approximately 1:35 p.m. on October 24, 2012, an incident occurred at a building's exhaust fan room; this room is located on the highest level of the parking lot. Employee #1 was inspecting a fan belt. With the electrical motor deenergized, Employee #1 was manually rotating the fan belt with his hand for an inspection. A cut on the inner surface of the belt grabbed his glove and pulled it into the pinch point of the upper pulley. As a result of the incident, Employee #1 sustained an amputation of right tip index finger. Employee #1 was taken to a local emergency facility to repair his finger.
