Final narrative
An employee was helping to assemble telescoping boom sections. Another employee was using a forklift to push the sections of the boom together. During this operation, the injured employee's right hand was inside the boom section to lift up and dislodge the chain, which had become caught on the outer boom. The employee's right middle finger was then caught between the gear and the chain, resulting in an amputation.
