Narrative

An employee was guiding a forklift operator who was placing a 48-inch form jacket (open cylinder) over a core (solid, stationary cylinder). The employee was positioned on the ground adjacent to the core. As the suspended jacket was positioned over the core, a gust of wind caused the jacket to move. The employee reached to steady it and the jacket moved downward pinching his left little finger between the jacket and the core and resulting in a fingertip amputation.
