Investigation Summary
On September 25, 2003, Employee #1, working for an employer that manufactured truck body assemblies, was cutting rigid foam with a 10-inch Delta Unisaw table saw, Serial Number 87C08060. The foam was used to insulate the boxes of the refrigeration trucks. He was guiding the foam into the saw with his left hand when the saw pulled in the foam and his hand. He sustained an amputation of his left hand thumb at the first joint and was hospitalized. There was a guard on the saw but it was flipped back. A coworker indicated that Employee #1 was not facing the table saw but was changing positions from front to back and his hand went into the saw from the back of the saw. Another coworker said that he smelled alcohol on the breath of Employee #1 but that he did not appear drunk. Employee #1 said he was not drinking.
