Investigation Summary
At 12:50 p.m. on October 16, 2021, an employee was operating a forklift to dump a trash bin into a dumpster at a paperboard container manufacturing facility. When the employee placed his left hand between the forks of the forklift and the bin and released the lever, the weight of the steel trash bin caused it to tip forward. The employee sustained crushing injuries to two fingertips, resulting in partial amputations and requiring hospitalization.
