The #1 belt conveyor stalled during normal operations, the injured EE and co-worker were told to check the problem out. The v-belt guard was removed. EE placed hand on the upper v-belt. The belt conveyor pressure released itself turning counter clockwise pulling EE's fingers into the pulley, severing parts of three fingers.

He was working on the radiator of the loader. His wrench slipped while taking radator cap off causing him to lose his balance and he fell approx. 4 ft. When he hit the ground he injured his pelvis.

EE WAS SPLICING CONVEYOR BELT. WHEN HE STRUCK HIS THUMB WITH HAMMER EE HAD 4 OR 5 STITCHES IN HIS THUMB.
