Narrative

An employee was loading merchandise onto rolling containers that were on a remote-operated order picker. While reorganizing merchandise to prevent top loading, the employee's wireless control device contacted a container and caused the order picker to move forward. The employee's right ring finger was caught between two containers and was amputated above the first knuckle.
