Final narrative
Employees were setting a pole along a county road to replace a storm-damaged pole. They were positioning the new pole in the hole and were canting the new pole using the pole chain. The pole shifted and dropped in the hole, causing the chain to roll over an employee's right index finger. The chain caught their finger against the pole and resulted in a fingertip amputation without bone loss.
