Narrative

On April 30, 2021, an employee was folding back a dock leveler after making a delivery. The lip plate did not automatically fold down when the push button was used, so the employee used their hand to push it down. The lip plate snapped downward all at once, and the three middle fingers on the employee's right hand were crushed.
