Abstract: At 8:15 a.m. on March 15, 2018, Employee #1 and his coworker, employed by a boiler services company, were installing a boiler at a feed plant. Employee #1 was guiding his coworker, who was operating a Caterpillar IT18F front end loader with forklift attachment and moving an economizer. The pallet on the front end loader broke, and the forks moved up quickly. Employee #1's left middle finger was caught between the forks and the economizer and was amputated. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was treated for the finger amputation and released the same day.
