Final narrative
An employee was helping another employee line up two heating plates that weighed approximately 2,000 pounds. The second employee signaled the forklift operator to set the plate down. When the forklift operator lowered the plate too quickly, the injured employee could not get his left thumb out of the way, causing the tip of his thumb to be amputated between the plates.
