Final narrative
An employee was helping to reposition a newly set pole that was being held by a digger derrick. While the winch line and choker chain were under tension, the employee started to rotate the pole. A link of the chain pinched the employee's left ring finger against the pole. The finger was fractured and the fingertip amputated, but was able to be reattached.
