## Narrative

Employees were standing outside of a manhole and pulling a rope through an underground conduit using a telehandler. They were using mule tape tied to the electrical line at one end and the telehandler at the other. The employee noticed the mule tape was slipping off the forks of the telehandler and he grabbed it. The mule tape wrapped around his left index finger and constricted, resulting in amputation of the finger.
