## Narrative

An employee was unloading totes from a trailer using a forklift. As the employee was backing out of the trailer, the change in pitch of the forklift as it went over the dock plate caused the stack of totes to become unstable. The employee was bracing them to keep them from falling into the forklift cab when they lacerated and fractured his left ring finger. The finger was medically amputated at the collateral ligament.
