Narrative

A temporary employee was stacking wooden trusses about 3 feet high. When he was finished, a forklift lifted up the trusses to be moved elsewhere. The trusses on the forks shifted and the employee s gloved, right ring fingertip got caught between the bottom truss and the forks. He sustained the amputation of his right ring fingertip without bone loss.
