Employee's Finger Is Amputated While Using Nylon Rope

At approximately 8:50 a.m. on April 8, 2013, Employee #1 was working on an arch tying the .25 in. nylon rope to the base of the arch. The wind was blowing very hard and the arch on the house was beginning to break. The plastic roof sheeting was beginning to blow off the nylon rope. A gust of wind caused the plastic roof to raise a few feet causing the nylon rope to tighten around the employee's right index finger. Employee #1 was taken to an area hospital, where his right index finger was partially amputated. The employee was later released.
