Investigation Summary
At 6:15 a.m. on October 22, 2020, an employee working as an assembler working for a plastics products manufacturer was using a Hitachi Miter saw to cut plastic components. The employee was holding the plastic U-channel while pulling down on the saw. The employee had his hand improperly positioned to hold the material being cut and he did not use a clamp. When the employee cut through the plastic part, he also cut through his left hand. The employee was hospitalized to treat a laceration to his fingers.
