Investigation Summary
At 5:00 p.m. on August 17, 2018, Employee #1, a cabinet installer employed by a carpentry construction company, was working at a new multi-employer construction project, a seven-story multifamily residential building. He was operating a Dewalt 10-inch compound miter saw to trim small plastic cabinet legs. The employee was cutting freehand without using a clamp or jig to secure the work piece against the adjacent fence. Employee #1's left hand came into contact with the saw blade, which amputated part of his left thumb and lacerated adjacent fingers. Emergency services transported the employee to the hospital, where he was admitted for treatment of the amputation and lacerations.
