Investigation Summary
At 7:30 a.m. on July 11, 2020, an employee was servicing an exhaust fan when the deenergized fan began to move due to wind as there was no mechanical energy isolation device installed to prevent the fan from freely moving. The employee tried to stop the fan by grabbing the fan belt but his hand got pulled in and caught between the belt and the pully. The employee was hospitalized to treat an amputation of his thumb.
