Final narrative
On 10/20/2015 at about 11:45 AM, the injured employee was in the process of repositioning forks on a rough terrain forklift with his bare hands (no gloves). His right hand was near the tip end and his left hand at the heel end. He lifted with his right hand so that he could slide the fork along the fork bar. His right hand slipped and his left little finger got caught between the heel and the carriage. The distal end was crushed and severely lacerated (partial amputation).
