Final narrative
An employee was building 10-to-12-foot trusses on a truss production line. When the trusses are finished, a conveyor arm lifts up the conveyor so that a forklift can remove the trusses from the conveyor. Once the forklift is in position, employees have to lower the arms manually to allow the forklift to back out with the trusses. When the employee went to lower the arm, it came down quickly and pinched his right index finger between the framework of the conveyor and the bottom part of the arm. The employee suffered crush injuries that required surgery.
