Employee amputates finger cutting Styrofoam with table saw

At 9:00 a.m. on December 14, 2021, an employee had finished cleaning her work area and decided to help her coworkers in the shipping department. The coworkers were building crates and the employee was helping cut Styrofoam. The employee was operating a Grizzly Model G0771Z Table Saw to cut the Styrofoam into smaller sizes when suddenly the Styrofoam kicked back. The employee was struck by the 10-inch saw blade and amputated her right middle finger distal phalange and deeply lacerated her index finger, requiring hospitalization.
