Final narrative
An employee was helping a crane operator retrieve a roll from a storage rack. The employee was working on the west side of the rack and the crane operator was working on the east side of the rack. The employee's hand was resting on the end of the roll. When the operator lifted the top roll, the other roll moved, pinching the employee's left hand and resulting in amputations to the left pinky and ring fingers.
