Narrative

Employee was adjusting and repositioning the forks on a diesel low trac. Unaware that his finger was placed in a pinch point, the employee let go of the fork to allow it to set into position. As a result, he pinched the tip of his left ring finger between the fork and the frame of the low trac.
