Narrative

Two utility workers were hanging high-voltage electrical cable in the O3-N roadway. They were using the manbasket of a telehandler to lift the cable while hangers were placed when the employee asked the telehandler operator to raise the basket more. As the basket was raised, the employee's hand was pinched between the basket rail and the roof of the mine.
