Narrative

On April 8, 2019, at 12:26 p.m., an employee was using a manual rolling light duty tilt truck to dump collected garbage into a dumpster at the dock. The employee tilted the truck and its contents backward, and while doing so, his hand was caught between the metal handle of the tilt truck and the edge of the dumpster, amputating his right pinky fingertip.
