Narrative

Newly hired employee was in a man-basket torquing nuts on Nevada bolts. EE placed EE's hand over the rear of the basket and under the impact torque gun. The operator of the forklift lifted the man-basket thus pinching EE's hand and causing the injury. There was not direct line of sight so effective communication was lost.
