Investigation Summary
At 2:40 p.m. on February 10, 2021, Employee #1 was cutting stock material in the Advanced Product Development Department of an aeronautical manufacturing facility using a Drake/Johnson horizontal band saw (Model #J10 & JH10). While the saw was in operation, the employee's hand became caught in the unguarded blade, resulting in the amputation of a finger. The saw lacked a proper guard, which contributed to the incident. Employee #1 was treated at Loma Linda Hospital and released without hospitalization.
