Incident on Jun 4, 2009: Employee's finger is amputated by belt and pulley
On June 4, 2009, Employer #1 was operating a Tennant Rider Scrubber, cleaning a parking lot. He had parked the scrubber machine, engaged the parking brake and l eft the engine running, while he proceeded to clean off the exterior of accumula ted dirt and grease. The scrubbing brushes, which are under the main chassis, we re in the down position and were on the ground. Employee #1 went to the back of the vehicle and observed that a cable in the brush assembly was apparently separ ated from a pulley. He reached into the brush assembly in an attempt to reattach what appeared to be a loose cable. When the automatic shut-off feature of the v ehicle activated, it caused the scrubbing brushes to retract into the stowed pos ition, thus reseating the cable. Employee #1's left index finger was amputated w hen it became caught between the cable and the pulley. Employee #1 had been trai ned to operate the vehicle, which included recognizing the controls and instrume nts and their functions, but was not trained or authorized to perform maintenanc e or repairs on the vehicle. He was hospitalized for treatment of his amputated finger.
