Narrative

The injured employee was standing on the driver's side of a flatbed truck while another employee was using a forklift to load metal plates. As the forklift operator was removing the forks from the top plate, it began to slide. The injured employee's left middle finger was caught between the lifting eye of the two plates, causing his hand to be crushed between the top and bottom plates. He sustained a partial amputation to his left middle finger.
