After replacing V-belts on an elevated stone conveyor drive motor, the employee removed the lockout tag. He then returned to the motor to visually observe the belt tension while the belt was running. He went to retrieve a glove that had been left on the motor mount when his right hand came in contact with the belt and drive pulley, causing lacerations to his middle finger.
