Narrative

An employee was using a come-along to secure an elevated platform to perform a preventative maintenance task on a split saw stand. The come-along winch holding the stand in place failed and the platform came down, crushing the employee's left hand in the hydraulic pulley system between the chain and sprocket. The employee sustained amputations to four fingers.
