Narrative

EE was turning a large spare point sheave for a BE 1570 dragline. Point sheave was mounted on a storage rack. It is recommended that the sheave be rotated from time to time to prevent the sheave from obtaining flat spots while on the stand. EE was slowly turning the sheave when EE's finger became stuck between the sheave and the frame of the storage rack. Laceration - Stitches
