Narrative

An employee was helping a coworker move a catwalk away from a piece of equipment for cleaning purposes. The employee's hands were beneath the catwalk to guide the forks of the forklift under the catwalk when the fork caught his right index finger, partially amputating the tip. He was hospitalized for surgery.
