Narrative

Three employees were installing a section of underground cable. The capstan was engaged to pull in the steel cable with a nylon rope. One of the employees had his left hand on the capstan when the switch was toggled, and his ring finger was pinched between the rope and the capstan. He suffered an amputation to some flesh and the nail.
