Employee Amputates Finger When Caught in Pulley and Flywheel

On December 18, 2012, Employee #1, with Plant Sciences Inc., was inspecting the alternator belt on a company backhoe when a coworker started the backhoe without first checking to see if Employee #1 was clear of the machinery. Employee #1's right index finger was caught between the pulley and flywheel and was subsequently amputated just above the distal knuckle. Employee#1 was driven by a coworker to a nearby medical clinic and then to a hospital, where he underwent surgery to cover the finger's end.
