Narrative

An employee was participating in powered industrial vehicle training. As the employee was attempting to pick up a table, the wheels on the lift turned sharply. The lift accelerated quickly, causing it to veer to the right. His right pinky finger was pinned and amputated under an adjacent table next to a wall.
