Narrative

An employee was removing a temporary barrier wall. A loader with forks was used to lift the wall to relieve pressure so the employee could pull pins from it. The pin shifted as he was pulling it and his right index finger was caught between the bolt and the barrier wall, amputating it at the first knuckle.
