Final narrative
An employee was calibrating a 100-ton transfer rail using a forklift attachment referred to as an evener which was a metal lifting device. The employee was holding the evener up so that another employee could slide the forklift tines under the evener bar and lift the calibration blocks. During this process one of the forklift tines pinched the employee s right ring finger between the tine and the evener bar resulting in a fingertip amputation.
