## Narrative

Workers were hoisting scaffold equipment to the 6th level.  As the load was approaching, the basket spun and would not fit through the hoist opening.  The hoist was stopped and one of the workers grabbed the cable just above the block to straighten it.  The other worker accidentally raised the hoist.  The worker's pinky finger was crushed in the sheave of the hoist cable.
