Final narrative
At 11:34 a.m., an employee was working with an electric pallet jack while another receiving associate had a forklift. When the employee went to move the electric pallet jack, the handle was turned in such a way that when it moved, it moved backwards and smashed her left-hand pinky into the forklift battery. Her pinky fingertip had to be surgically amputated.
