An employee was working on a well. He turned the well on and off, trying to get the head of the well to come up. He then went to adjust the well with a wrench. To access the fittings at the front of the well, the employee put his wrench on the pulley bar to slow down the well. The employee's finger was pinched between the wrench and an angle iron, resulting in amputation to the left ring fingertip.
