At 2:15 p.m. on February 26, 2020, an employee working as a machine operator for a flooring manufacturer was operating an automatic Eagle trim saw line that produced hardwood flooring. The employee was responsible for ensuring that stock coming off of a chain conveyor system was lying flat and was not double stacked so it could enter into the automated saw for trimming. The employee was adjusting stock material when he caught his right hand and lower arm in the infeed conveyor. The employee severely lacerated and fractured his hand and forearm, requiring hospitalization.
