Narrative

An employee was in the packaging area in a warehouse transporting a 5-foot tilt and roll ladder back to its storage location. The employee was pushing the ladder while standing inside of it when it began to tilt over. As the employee reached to stop the ladder from tilting, his right hand contacted the metal serrated platform. The ladder continued to tilt and as he pulled his hand free, the employee's right middle fingertip was amputated.
