Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:30 a.m. on September 4, 2002, Employee #1 was using a Skilsaw to cut a 2-in. by 12-in. plank that was set on a pair of sawhorses. The board was under tension when the saw became bound and kicked back so fast that the saw guard could not snap back over the blade. The tips of Employee #1's left index, middle, and fourth fingers were amputated. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital where he was treated and hospitalized for three days. Employee #1 later stated that the saw guard was in use and in good working order at the time of the accident.
