Abstract: At 8:15 a.m. on March 26, 2018, Employee #1 and a coworker, employed by a construction company, were working at a multiemployer construction project. Employee #1 was using a Skilsaw electric power saw to cut a 16-inch long piece of 2 by 6 plywood. The coworker was holding the lumber down with another piece of wood. The sawblade became caught in the plywood, and Employee #1 lifted the saw and the wood in an attempt to free the blade. The saw kicked back, and the blade struck Employee #1's right hand, cutting the fingers and amputating the tip of the little finger. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was treated for the finger lacerations and partial amputation and released without hospitalization.
