On or about November 15, 2021, two employees were working on opposite ends of the winch. One employee was operating the controls, while a second employee was at the end with the hook. The injured employee had their fingers between the hook and the plate when the additional employee positioned on the opposite side of the winch pushed the button to pull the winch tight.
