Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was a shipping and receiving clerk who had over three years experience in his job and with the procedure that was being used when the accident occurred. Employee #1 was cutting a small piece of plywood that was to be a part of a shipping crate. He was using a table saw with a crosscut blade, with only a stationary screen as a guard above the saw blade. Without using a push stick or block, Employee #1 placed his hand under the screen as he was pushing the plywood. The saw blade suddenly pulled the plywood though, resulting in Employee #1 having the tip of his right thumb amputated at the base of the nail. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
