## Narrative

An employee was lowering a transfer hose between two liquid cargo barges. The winch started to free-spool and the hand crank came out of its seat. The employee was putting the hand crank back in to stop the winch from free-spooling, when the gears on the winch caused a partial amputation of a finger on the right hand and a fracture.
