Investigation Summary
At 10:30 a.m. on December 6, 2021, an employee was holding the exterior overhead door cover on the exterior of a building while a coworker installed the hinges. As the work was ongoing, a forklift operator inside the building, unaware of the two employees working outside, activated the overhead door opener to open the door. The exterior door and wind roller activated and pinched the employee's right ring finger between the roller and the door frame causing an amputation. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
