Narrative

An employee was helping to take a cable winch system down. The system had been used to pull a heat exchange bundle. The employee's hand was on a poly snatch block when the operator moved the cable. The employee's fingertip was caught between the cable and poly snatch block, resulting in a distal finger amputation.
