Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was working on a cutstock line where defects and knots are cut out of long boards, resulting in small pieces of various lengths (7 to 24 inches long). Employee #1 was positioned at a work table at the end of a conveyor. As pieces fell from the conveyor onto the work table, Employee #1 sorted the pieces and sent them to other locations. One of the pieces landed crossways on Employee #1's work table. One end lay against the side back edge of the table and the other side lay against the front. As Employee #1 picked this piece up, another piece came off the conveyor. The conveyor pushed the end of this second board against Employee #1's fingers. The cross board was wedged in place against the side of the work table. The second board was pushed against this board and the end of the conveyor belt. Employee #1's fingers were between the two. Employee #1's middle finger was amputated to the first joint.
