Narrative

On November 28, 2018, an employee was unloading bars with a forklift and then reversed in order to realign the forklift. The forklift mast was elevated at the time and hit a cross beam overhead, causing his forklift to overturn. His fingers were caught between the overhead guard and a concrete column, resulting in finger amputations.
