Carpenter's Fingers Are Amputated by Saw

On May 31, 2006, Employee #1, a framer with Brincat Construction, was on a 10-ft A-frame ladder, cutting a piece of 2-in. by 6-in. top plate, using an unguarded Big Foot 10-in. circular hand saw. When he turned around to see who was screaming, his left hand contacted the blade. Employee #1 was hospitalized at Little Company of Mary Medical Center for lacerations to his first and third fingers, and a partial amputation of his second finger.
