Abstract: At 2:00 p.m. on January 14, 2022, an employee was operating a forklift while attempting to dump a trash bin into a larger roll-off dumpster at a residential construction site. The trash bin was attached to the forks of the forklift, and when the employee released the latch on the trash bin and pushed it over to dump it, the bin rolled forward and then came backwards quickly. When the bin rolled forward, it pinched and crushed the employee's hand between the bin and the fork of the forklift. The employee suffered a partial amputation of their left pinky, and required medical treatment without hospitalization.
