Final narrative
An employee and his crew began assembling trench boxes for an upcoming culvert replacement operation. The crew used a wheel loader with forks to lift the top plate into position when the plate became misaligned with a post. The injured employee's right index fingertip was in the retaining pin hole as the signal person lifted, resulting in a fingertip amputation.
