At 1:00 p.m. on September 22, 2017, Employee #1 was operating a cut-off saw, cutting a piece of scrap casting. The scrap casting that the employee was holding got caught in the blades of the saw, causing it to slam down, catching his fingers between the scrap casting, hand tool and rubber mat. The employee's left index finger was amputated at the first knuckle and his middle finger sustained a severe laceration requiring 13 stitches.
