Investigation Summary
On January 17, 2008, Employee #1, a planer operator, was clearing jammed wood from beneath the raised hood and turning knives of the planer. His hand was drawn into the turning knives, and a segment of his right forefinger was amputated. The hood guard of the planer had been raised to allow the passage of lumber through the planer to the sorting table without contacting the knives. His coworkers responded to him, applied first aid and called Emergency Services. Employee #1 was hospitalized for several days.
