Narrative

On October 14, 2021, an employee was trying to maneuver a powered industrial truck off a dock leveler near warehouse racking. The truck was caught on the dock leveler; as the employee moved it side to side to free it, the employee's left hand was caught between the truck's handle and a warehouse racking column. The employee suffered a crushing injury to the hand, wrist, and forearm (with no fracture or dislocation) and was hospitalized for surgery.
