Narrative

An employee was walking alongside a forklift moving decking. He was wearing a harness because he would eventually have to go up to an elevated position. The lanyard from the harness became caught on a pipe, causing the employee to fall, which then caused the load to shift. Decking sheets then pinned the employee's left hand between a column and the sheets, injuring his ring finger.
