Narrative

An employee was pulling a 3-conductor cable for a mounted camera through a 1-inch conduit. The cable pulley used to support the cable was secured to the pole using mule tape. The mule tape failed and the pulley fell approximately 8 feet, striking the employee in the right hand and resulting in fractured metacarpal bones and a laceration.
