Narrative

An employee was repositioning a load on a pallet while a forklift was lifting the pallet for repositioning. The forks hit the crossbar on the opposite side of the pallet, causing it to thrust forward into the employee's right index finger, which got caught between the pallet and a package track. The employee sustained a partial amputation to the right index finger.
