Investigation Summary
At 4:15 p.m. on August 23, 2017, Employee #1 and Coworker #1, employed by a construction company, and Coworker #2, the company owner, were cutting and installing laminate flooring at a residential building. Employee #1 was operating a portable table saw mounted on a table. As he pushed a piece of laminate through the saw, the saw kicked back, and Employee #1's right hand was pulled into the blade. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for the amputation of three fingers, additional hand lacerations, a severed tendon, and dislocation of his thumb. During the subsequent investigation, it was determined that the table saw lacked a protective guard.
