Narrative

An employee was putting crushed 55 gallon drums in a dumpster into a recycle trailer using a forklift. The dumpster was raised about 5.5 feet off the ground on the forks of the forklift. As the dumpster rolled forward, their left index finger was pinched between the dumpster frame and the forklift fork and the fingertip was amputated.
