Narrative

A crew of five employees used two forklifts along with a telehandler to load and carry pipe that had been cut into 125-foot sections from the fuel pier to the parking lot for painting. The injured employee was guiding the pipe while it was being moved by the forklift. The pipe struck a bush and began swaying and the injured employee's hand was caught between the pipe and the building next to it. The employee's right ring and pinky fingers were amputated.
