Narrative

On January 27, 2017, at 9:45 a.m. an employee was attempting to reposition the upper of two loaded Ropak pallets in the Pack Area to gain visual access to the shipping label on the pallet for inventory purposes. The employee's left pinky finger became caught between the two pallets resulting in a partial amputation.
