Narrative

On December 3, 2020, an employee was operating a forklift and stopped to talk to another employee. While pulling away after the conversation, the employee's left hand was caught between the vertical roof support beam on his forklift and the open cab door of the coworker's vehicle. The employee sustained lacerations and crushing injuries to the left hand, and the left index finger was surgically amputated.
