Abstract: On March 15, 2011, Employee #1, carpenter with Now Inc., was cutting plywood for blocks using a guarded skill saw. He reportedly reached under the running saw, cutting his palm and three fingers of his left hand. He went to the hospital, received stitches and was released. He returned next day for surgery. Apparently, he only later learned that the middle finger tip was amputated during surgery.
