Abstract: At 8:45 a.m. on August 11, 2020, an employee was operating a trim saw on multiple blocks of wood. A block was stuck, hung under one of the trim saw blades causing the blades to stop turning. The employee utilized LOTO in attempt to unjam the wood. When the first block of wood was removed, the feed chain jumped causing the other blocks of wood to become unjammed and the blade to begin to coast to a stop. The sudden movement threw the employee's hand into the blade, amputating the employee's right middle finger to the second knuckle. The employee was taken to the hospital for treatment but was not hospitalized.
