Investigation Summary
Employee #1, of Sea Products Co., which operates a seafood processing and cold storage facility, was using a 14 in. Super-Biro Delux bandsaw, model BB, serial #1183, to cut frozen crabs in half and score their legs. The bandsaw section below the upper wheel to the upper guide had only a flat piece of metal on one side. The teeth, which projected beyond this, were used to score the crab legs. A 1 5/8 in. section above the table opposite the point of operation was not guarded. While cutting crab, Employee #1 cut off half of his right ring finger. He said that he thinks he cut the finger off on the back side of the 1 5/8 in. opening. Sea Products disputes this, saying that the finger was found on the front side of the saw. Inadequate guarding on the bandsaw may have caused this accident.
