Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:00 p.m. on July 13, 2017, Employee #1 was training on a Holtec saw. He was helping the operator set the backrest for the units of lumber. Employee #1 had his hand wrapped around a brace with his left middle finger placed on the lumber loading side. A forklift driver brought a unit of lumber up to place against the brace. The trainer had moved down to the north end of the area. The forklift driver was unaware that Employee #1 was still holding the brace. The forklift operator placed the unit against Employee #1's middle finger which was caught between the lumber and the middle back rest. Employee #1 immediately jerked his hand backwards and ripped his glove off along with part of his left middle finger. Employee #1 received first aid treatment on the partial finger amputation and was not hospitalized.
