Investigation Summary
On June 16, 2008, Employee #1, an electrician, was working with a coworker installing electrical outlets and wiring in the kitchen. Employee #1 was using a circular saw, with the guard in place and not defeated in any way. Employee #1 was holding the saw with both hands to cross-cut into an attached 2-in. by 6-in. board on the kitchen island to cut an outlet opening with the skill saw. As Employee #1 was cutting, the saw blade hit a nail in the board and kicked back. This caused the saw to jerk. Employee #1 was trying to hold on to the saw to avoid being hit in the chest by the saw. Employee #1's right hand glove was caught in the blade. Employee #1 suffered an amputation of his right pinky finger. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital where his finger was surgically reattached. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
