## Narrative

An employee was operating an industrial take-up machine to pull wire from a rack of spools so that the wire could be cut to length and wrapped onto one large spool. The take-up machine was used to turn the spool as the employee wrapped mule tape around the wire to secure it on the spool. The mule tape wrapped around the employee's fingers causing amputations to their right ring and little fingertips.
