Employee Cuts Thumb on Line Pulling Cable

A power line crew was removing a damaged cable from an underground conduit. When the cable stuck in the conduit, the crew used a sewer rodder to pull the cable out. As one of the power line workers on the crew was guiding the rodder line out, it entangled his left hand and thumb. Although he was wearing leather gloves, the worker sustained lacerations to his left thumb. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
