## Narrative

Employees were using a dolly to remove a trash compactor unit from a residential home. As they began to transport it out of the room and to the outside, the dolly encountered uneven ground. This caused the dolly and the unit to move quicker than expected. The injured employee's left hand was then caught between a nearby concrete column and the compactor unit, resulting in fractures of the left ring and middle fingers that required amputation.
