Abstract: At 3:00 p.m. on May 30, 2019, an employee and a coworker (Supervisor) were working in a dairy processing plant cold storage department trying to move a dock leveler lip on a new dock into place manually. The lip was not moving because the truck bed was too high to properly meet the lip. The employee attempted to manually move lip into place by folding it and in doing so he caught his right hand in the plate. The employee crushed his middle finger and required hospitalization.
