Employee's Hand Is Injured by Saw

On June 3, 2005, Employee #1, a forklift operator, was using a specialized saw designed to make frame keys. Ordinarily, the saw was only used by two qualified and trained employees. Employee #1 was using the saw to rip wood, without being assigned to do so by his employer. When Employee #1 loaded the wood backwards, it kicked back. Employee #1's right hand was then pulled into the saw. He was hospitalized for a near-amputation of his thumb, multiple lacerations, and nerve damage. The machine was unguarded at the time of the accident.
