Narrative

Two Employees were changing the isolating mounts on the VFD housing on a drill rig and using a come-a-long to lift one of the corners. The come-along broke and the VFD housing dropped down and contacted the socket and ratchet. The ratchet shifted and pinched the employee's index and middle finger in between the ratchet handle and rig substructure.
