Narrative

An employee was lifting and dumping a tilt cart (with a helper) into a roll-off dumpster at a loading dock. The cart tipped downward suddenly from the shift in contents and the employee's pinky finger was caught in a pinch point between the tipped cart and the jagged edge of the roll-off dumpster. As a result, the employee's right pinky finger was amputated.
