Abstract: At approximately 10:10 a.m. on October 18, 2005, Employee #1, with Southern Wine & Spirit (a distributor), was measuring and marking plywood. A coworker was cutting a piece of plywood using a 7-25-in. electric Skilsaw (Model Number 77, Serial Number HD540954). Once the plywood was cut to the desired length and width, it was placed onto a rack and secured with self-threading set screws to form a secured enclosure. While the coworker was cutting the plywood at the top of a stack, Employee #1 was standing approximately 6 to 8 ft behind. After the coworker completed a cut he stepped back to place the saw down. At the same time, Employee #1 stepped forward and the saw blade struck the top of Employee #1's left hand. He was hospitalized for a deep laceration to the top of the hand.
