Narrative

The steel cable for the B-2 belt drive take-up unit had traveled outside of the wheel guides. The injured employee was attempting to return the cable into the guides when the trapped cable became free and his left hand was caught between the steel cable and the wheel. This resulted in a laceration to the employee's index finger on his left hand.
