Employee Amputates Finger in Energized Saw Blade

On May 28, 2005, Employee #1, working for Williams Lumber Inc., was loading a piece of timber onto the table in front of a radial arm saw. When Employee #1 placed the timber on the table, he attempted to place it in a position ready for cutting. The timber was going to be cut to size by a sawyer who was standing with his back turned towards the saw as he was reviewing paperwork. At this time, Employee #1's right hand struck the energized saw blade and his right ring finger was amputated.
