## Narrative

On March 4, 2022, an employee was attaching 20-foot endless round slings from a load block to a 10-ton counterweight. While the employee was attempting to straighten the outer sheath of the rigging, the load block moved and their left hand was caught between the block and the counterweight, resulting in fingertip amputations of the ring and middle fingers.
