Final narrative
While adjusting the rigging for the bull gear installation, the bull gear became unstable and shifted. The shifting gear contacted the mobile platform on which the employee was standing knocking the platform over and causing the employee to fall to the ground. When the gear shifted, the employee's right index finger was caught between the rigging and the wood block resulting in amputation of the finger.
