Final narrative
On 11/29/2016, at 4:00 p.m., an employee was in the machine room when he saw debris on the sheave where the elevator cables wrap around. He started to clean the sheave using a screw driver. When the elevator started to move, the cable caught his left hand and pulled him, causing him to tip over and fall to the ground. He sustained three finger amputations on his left hand, broken teeth, and lacerations to his face, requiring hospitalization and surgery. The elevator was not locked out at the time of the incident.
