| At approximately 9:30 a.m. on February 13, 2003, Employee #1, a lead mechanic, was changing a battery pack on forklift Number 82 weighing approximately 3700 pounds. One side of the battery pack came off the guide bar of the overhead hoist. Employee #1 reattached the guide bar with his right hand and did not move his hand out of the way. Employee #1 activated the hoist in the up position and when the battery pack was lifted it created a pinch point between the battery pack and the guide bar amputating Employee #1's right index finger to the first joint. Employee #1 was treated for his injury but was not hospitalized. | ||||||
