Investigation Summary
At 2:30 a.m. on March 7, 2003, Employee #1, a hardware store worker, was operating a 2001, electric ladder (Make: JLG Industries; Model Number: 12SP; Serial Number: 0900016371) in an 8-foot-wide aisle. The ladder was 34-inches wide and there were 2-feet by 2-feet plastic pallets protruding on the right side of the aisle. Employee #1 attempted to steer the ladder around the pallets and, for some reason, his left ring finger got caught on an 8-inch-wide bracket, which was hung on the left side of the aisle. Employee #1 was hospitalized at the Henry Mayo Hospital and treated for his injury. His left ring finger was amputated below the first knuckle.
