Abstract: At 11:30 a.m. on October 15, 2021, an employee was performing interior carpentry during new construction of a multi-unit apartment complex. The employee was working as a helper cabinet installer with his coworker who was the primary cabinet installer as a two-man team. The employee was tasked by his coworker with cutting a bottom filler piece for the cabinet out of stock measuring 1 in wide by 16 in long. The coworker provided the employee with a Milwaukee table saw to perform the rip cut for lengthwise removal of an approximately 1/16 in strip. While feeding the stock into the table saw using the push stick in his left hand and his right hand to secure the stock against the fence, the employee's hand slipped forward and contacted the unguarded table saw blade. The employee sustained the complete amputation of his left pointer finger and lacerations to the tip of his middle finger and thumb of the same hand, requiring hospitalization.
