## Narrative

An employee was standing by the front side of the mud mix pump guard. He squatted down and stretched out to reach the belt with his left hand and was able to grab it. When he began to rise, belt in hand, his hand got caught on the backside of the guard. The belt and pulley pulled the used belt that was in his hand into the pulley, causing amputations to the middle, ring, and little fingertips.
