Narrative

Two employees were moving a pallet of tower trays and beams using a hydraulic pallet jack when a board from the pallet became caught under one of the wheels of the pallet jack. An employee was removing the board when the hydraulics were released, lowering the pallet onto the employee's hand and resulting in partial amputation of the left index fingertip.
