An employee was unloading new equipment from a pallet skid. The employee was removing the strapping from a panel when it became dislodged from the transportation skid and began to tip. The employee attempted to balance the paneling but succumbed to the size. The panel continued to tip and caught the employee's finger between the panel and the parked forklift's mast, resulting in a partial amputation to the right ring finger from the nail bed to the tip.
