Narrative

On October 27, 2017, at approximately 2:45 p.m., an employee was adjusting the forks of a lift. While holding onto the side of the forklift assembly, he boomed up and kicked the fork over with his foot. As the fork moved, it dropped into place, along with the bar that supports the forks. The employee's gloved finger was then pinched between the fork and fork assembly, amputating his right middle fingertip.
