## Narrative

An employee was removing the rear axel on a forklift for maintenance purposes. While the forklift was blocked underneath, the employee utilized a chain-link hoist to lift the rear of the forklift. In the process of doing this, the employee's finger was caught between the chain-link hoist and the forklift counterweight, resulting in a left ring finger amputation down to the first knuckle.
