Narrative

An employee was standing on the elevated forks of a forklift to install the fork chain anchor nut. The employee slipped and as he went to catch himself, he accidentally engaged the up-down control for the forks. This caused the forks to fall onto his foot. The employee's right foot was crushed and all of his right toes were amputated.
