## Narrative

On January 11, 2020, an employee was working from the ground to make sure that a forklift was setting bundles of metal plates (about 5,000 pounds) in the right place. One of the bundles was not correctly placed next to another; he was trying to adjust it when it shifted. His left index finger was caught between the two plates, causing the amputation of his fingertip without bone loss.
