Abstract: On October 22, 2019, an employee working for a poultry farm was unloading empty pallet carts. The employee pinched his middle fingertip between a winch hook and pallet cart when the coworker operating the winch mistakenly applied tension rather than slack to the hook. The employee partially amputated his fingertip and required medical treatment without hospitalization.
