Abstract: At 3:00 p.m. on November 11, 2020, an employee was operating a forklift when he observed that conveyor rollers were not turning. The employee exited the forklift and began to apply WD-40 lubricant to the conveyor roller bearings. While using his left gloved hand to rotate the rollers to loosen them, a cube of bricks advanced on the conveyor and pinched his left ring finger between a cube of bricks and the roller. The employee sustained a left ring fingertip amputation. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
