Abstract: At 4:15 p.m. on April 12, 2019, an employee was working at a sawmill. He was banding a unit of lumber. When he activated the stacker outfeed chains, the unit of lumber moved forward. It pinched the middle finger on the employee's right hand. The employee sustained the amputation of the tip of that finger. The narrative was not clear on whether he was hospitalized. Causes of the incident included the employee's contact with moving equipment, his not turning off the stacker outfeed chains, and incorrect design of the limit switch.
