Final narrative

An employee was actively involved in the rigging process and was providing verbal directions to both the forklift operator and the spotter. The operation was temporarily halted after the pole section was raised approximately two to three feet out of the ground to adjust the rigging. The employee walked under the forks and gave direction to lower them. While doing so, the employee placed their right hand on top of the rigged pole for support and used their left hand to adjust the rigging components. The base of the mast came in contact with the employee s right hand, resulting in a laceration and amputation of the right index finger.
