Narrative

An employee was using a come-a-long to raise a basket out of a sump to clean it. When the basket reached the top, the come-a-long slipped out of gear and the basket fell. As it fell, the basket pulled the employee's left index finger into the come-a-long, resulting in an amputation of the left index finger up to the first knuckle.
