Employee Amputated His Finger on the Dumptruck Tailgate Door

At approximately 10:30 a.m. on October 7, 2005, Employee #1, amputated his left minor ring finger just behind the nail. Employee #1, a heavy dump truck driver with 37 years of experience, was placing chunks of roadway asphalt and concrete through an 18' inch-wide by 11' inch-high opening in a Heil batch gate located on the tailgate of the dump truck. The batch gate door was in an elevated position at the time of the incident and held up by a chain and connected with a 0.25-inch steel S-shaped hook (Heil part number 053-0448.) The upper part of the S-hook straightened out released the chain and caused the batch gate door to lower. As the sliding door lowered it amputated the employee's left minor ring finger just behind the nail.
