Sunrise Transport Inc.

An employee was operating an electric pallet jack and moved it onto the lift gate. The lift gate was wet and slippery from running a previous pallet that contained product packed in ice. The jack starting sliding toward the curbside of the platform. As the pallet was sliding to the edge, the associate tried to keep the pallet level by placing his arm on the pallet, to keep it from falling. The pallet jack continued to slide and as the employee attempted to get out of the way, his finger slid across the pallet jack and was amputated.
