Investigation Summary
On September 14, 2004, Employee #1, a foreman for Progressive Windows, was installing windows and sashes. In order to install the glass, its sometimes necessary to replace the sash and cut wood to fit the area. Employee #1 had to rip a strip of wood to make a window sash. He was cutting about 0.625 inches off from a piece of wood that was 6-feet by 0.5-inches thick. Employee #1 stated that there was a saw guard on the table saw and that he was using a push stick. When the piece of wood he was cutting got towards the end, the machine kicked back and dragged his hand into the saw blade. Employee #1 sustained an amputation to the fingers on his right hand and was hospitalized.
