Narrative

An employee was working on a 26-foot box truck with a rear lift gate. The lift gate was down and needed to be secured to move the truck out of the service bay. The employee used a forklift to raise the lift gate. The employee then got off the forklift to adjust the lift gate. The lift gate slipped off the forks and struck his left hand, causing an amputation to the left middle finger.
