Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and a coworker were working next to one another on the same job. They had just disagreed about the work accomplished the day before and how it was done. Employee #1 was upset with his coworker and grabbed a 2 by 6 and began to cut it with a skill saw. The coworker warned him to slow down and be careful. Employee #1 got even more upset and said, "What I lack in knowledge, I make up for in hustle." He then grabbed a 2 by 4 and began to cut it. The saw kicked back, amputating his thumb.
