Narrative

An employee was preparing to install the horizontal track for an overhead door inside a refrigerated truck while working from a 4-foot platform ladder. The safety screw that maintains the pre-spring-loaded overhead door in the down position had been removed and the door was ejected from the vertical door track. As the door moved upward, the employee's left index finger was caught between two panel sections resulting in the removed of skin from the fingertip.
