Narrative

On June 29, 2017, an employee was emptying a trash dumpster. He used a forklift to set the dumpster over the trash compactor. Once it was set, he exited the forklift and used the lever on the side of the dumpster to dump the trash. On his way back up, his finger was caught and fractured in a pinch point between the dumpster and compactor, requiring hospitalization.
