## Narrative

Employees were aligning an electrical cabinet on a deck inside the entrance to a wind turbine. They were using a come-along, connected to an anchor at the base of the tower, to position the cabinet at the center of the tower. While an employee was checking for proper positioning, the cabinet moved toward the tower wall and his right index finger was caught in the 1/2-inch gap between them. The fingertip was amputated.
