Abstract: At 11:00 a.m. on April 27, 2017, Employee #1 was operating a portable table saw, cutting one inch PVC strips for soffit boxing. After a piece of strip became sucked in the spinning blade, Employee #1 reached to retrieve it with one of his hands. That hand contacted the still rotating saw blade and caused severe lacerations to his left index, pointer and ring fingers. Employee #1 was taken to a local hospital where medical staff had to amputate the three fingers due to extensive damage sustained by the rotating saw blade.
