Abstract: At around 7:00 p.m. on August 6, 2009, Employee #1, a truck driver, was preparing a trailer to be loaded at an agricultural commodities distributor. He lowered a loading dock plate to align it with the trailer. When the plate failed to align properly, Employee #1 placed both hands under it to lift and fully extend it. As the plate extended, it fell quickly and crushed his right hand. Employee #1 was hospitalized at Kern Medical Center for lacerated index, middle, and ring fingers. The index finger was partially amputated.
