Narrative

An employee was emptying debris using a dump box on a forklift at a construction site. The employee released the latch on the dump box in order to tip it into the dumpster. At the time, the employee slipped and when he tried to catch himself his left hand got caught between the fork and the dump box pinching his middle and ring fingers resulting in a crushing injury to the ring finger and a middle fingertip amputation.
