Investigation Summary
At 11:00 a.m. on January 26, 2017, Employee #1 and a coworker were engaged in attaching a trailer to a truck that was loaded with a small to medium sized roll-off bin for dumping. The coworker put the truck in neutral, exited the cab of the vehicle and joined Employee #1 at the tailgate of the truck. Both Employee #1 and the coworker pulled the truck into position under the trailer to attach its ball to the trailers coupler. However, they were unsuccessful. When the coworker took a break, walking away from the truck, Employee #1 continued to try to connect the trailer to the truck. After repositioning himself to the front left side of the trailer tongue, Employee #1 pulled the trailer and connector into position and began turning the crank to lower the coupler until its edge contacted the ball. Before the coupler was fully lowered to the ball, Employee #1 pulled against the tongue toward himself with his right hand to align the coupler with the ball. When his efforts failed, Employee #1 grasped the end of the coupler with his left hand and pulled with both hands. With this extra force, the coupler moved and dropped on to the ball, pinning Employee #1's left pinky and ring fingers. He sustained a partial amputation of the ring finger and a laceration the pinky finger.
