## Narrative

An employee was pulling inner duct from one handhole to another. The shackle on a winch cable contacted the cable sheave's roller block. The employee released tension on the winch cable and lifted the cable to guide the shackle over the lip of the handhole. As he re-engaged the winch, his left index fingertip became caught between components in the winch's retrieval wheel. The fingertip was amputated between the last knuckle and the nail.
