Narrative

An employee was working to attach a safety handle to the cable portion of a pulley system designed to aid in the operation of a resistance welder. The tension on the cable was disengaged, then reengaged while the employee's left hand was on the top of the pulley system. The cable caught the tip of the employee's left little finger, causing an amputation at the first joint.
