Narrative

Two employees were using a wood chipper. One employee was operating the winch while the other had his hand by the area where the rope enters the winch. As the rope was tightened, the injured employee's left index finger was caught between the winch frame and the rope, resulting in a crush injury and medical partial amputation.
