Final narrative
On March 1, 2017, at approximately 3:00 a.m., an employee was injured while visually checking a belt drive in the Thistle Area. A jam had occurred in the crusher. The machine was locked out, the jam was cleared, and the machine was started back up. The employee gained access to a catwalk and knelt down to check the tightness of the belt drive when his knee made contact with a piece of metal causing him to react by throwing his hand out. His gloved hand made contact with the unguarded, moving belt drive resulting in a fracture and amputation of the left ring fingertip.
