Narrative

On November 4, 2021, an employee attempted to unbolt a lamp post that was attached to a pulley system and tethered to a forklift. While the load was suspended, the employee reached under the lamp post to remove a nut and bolt. The load shifted and the lamp post landed on the employee's hand crushing their fingers and resulting in a partial finger amputation.
