## Narrative

On February 10, 2017, an employee was performing functional tests on a lawnmower. The engine was running, but the drive belts for the mower were not engaged or moving. At approximately 8:15 a.m., the employee was walking near the mower when he tripped and fell.  As he fell, his right hand contacted a sharp area where the belt met a pulley and his right index finger was de-gloved.
