Final narrative
An employee was assisting with the assembly of an 800-ton hydraulic crane and was preparing to secure the cable bridle to the base section of the luffing jib. The employee was holding the cable with his left hand as it was being pulled through the sheave. The employee's glove and left hand got caught and pulled into the sheave. As it caught his glove, he pulled his fingers out and suffered the amputation of the left index fingertip, a severe laceration and a minor fracture to the left middle fingertip and a contusion and minor fracture to the left ring fingertip.
