Employees were drilling a water well. As they were removing a cut-out portion of the well casing from the drill floor, the casing was bumped and shifted, causing it to fall enough to take slack out of the cable. The injured employee had placed his hand on the cable to remove it from the hook and his finger was caught between the hook and the cable. As a result, the distal phalange of his left index finger was amputated. | |||||
