Narrative

Two employees were loading a catwalk and two pipe racks onto a trailer. When the second pipe rack was loaded, the forklift operator did not realize the forks were under the other pipe rack. The movement caused the pipe rack to roll onto the right pinky finger of the injured employee, amputating the fingertip.
