Narrative

Two mechanics were installing a resistor bank on dragline 16. They brought it in to the machine house with the side winch and set it on the floor. They manually moved it across the floor to position it and pick it up with the main hoist. Employee caught his pinky finger on his left hand between the framework and a lube tank, cutting it at the first joint.
