Narrative

An employee was operating a powered pallet jack to unload a truck. While the employee was lowering the dock lift, he reached to pull the bridge back while still lowering the dock lift, causing three of his fingers to become caught between the dock lift bridge and the back of the truck. The employee suffered numbness in the left index finger, pain in the left middle finger between the nail bed and the first knuckle, and an amputation of their left ring fingertip with bruising.
