Investigation Summary
At 10:00 a.m. on July 16, 2020, an employee was using an Oliver shaper. While using the machine to create a design in a piece of wood, the employee placed a guide onto the fence of the shaper to cover the routing blade. As he guided the wood through the cutting slot, he inadvertently amputated his right fingers. The employee was hospitalized for treatment. The employee was unable to determine how his fingers came into contact with the cutting blade, highlighting the potential dangers associated with using woodworking machinery. This incident emphasizes the need for proper safety measures and training when operating cutting tools in the workplace.
