## Narrative

An employee was climbing off a saw from a height of 3 feet. He slipped on a cross-member and his hand contacted the belt that had just been installed on the saw. The weight forced the belt to move through the pulley, bringing his right hand with it. He suffered lacerations to the right index, middle, and ring fingers and an amputation to the index finger at the second knuckle.
