## Narrative

On August 15th, 2025, an employee was aligning/connecting a coupler to the generator of a wind turbine. The coupler was secured in place by a strap that was connected to the turbine's chain hoist and a bolt. While lining up the remaining holes, the coupler rotated while the employee's right index finger was in one of the bolt holes, causing a partial amputation through the phalanx.
