Narrative

An employee was on the bed of a digger truck assisting the operator with moving a 30-foot pole from the rack on the digger truck to a dumpster for disposal. The employee placed a strap around the pole and attached it to the boom of the digger truck before guiding the pole to the dumpster. As the pole was being lowered, it shifted and caught his left ring fingertip against the side of the dumpster. The employee suffered a fingertip amputation.
