Investigation Summary
On August 16, 2010, Employee #1 was holding a black plastic box with both his hands and pressing it against a rotating router blade to cut away some material from the box. The blade grabbed the box and lifted it, and this action pulled the Employee #1's right hand into the blade. Approximately 50 percent of his hand got amputated. He was admitted to the California Pacific Medical Center on August 16, 2010. At the hospital, a section of his hand that had been amputated was reattached, along with three fingers. He lost the small and ring fingers on that hand, however. He was discharged on August 25, 2010.
