## Narrative

An employee was operating a forklift with a hopper attachment to dump trash in a dumpster. While releasing the handle to allow dumping, the employee placed his left hand between the hopper and the forklift tine to reach up to release the lever. When it released, the weight shifted, pinching his left ring finger between the hopper and the forklift tine. This resulted in a crushing injury that required amputation to left ring fingertip.
