Narrative

A truck driver was loading a second roll-off container onto a two-box trailer. He was operating the hydraulic control levers with his left hand, and was holding the D-ring in place on the exterior of the trailer while letting slack out of the winch cable. The employee's right little finger became pinched between the winch cable and the structure of the trailer. The employee required surgical amputation of the distal phalanx.
