Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:30 p.m. on March 10, 2010, Employee #1 was using a hand-held router to trim the edges of a wooden table inside a warehouse. Employee #1's glove became caught in the opening on the metal frame of the router, and he suffered a partial amputation of his right thumb. The size of the opening on router tool was measured to be one inch wide by two inches long. The router had an ON/OFF hand switch on the tool and was fitted with a 120-volt plug-in type extension cord. According to the employer, the router was in its as-purchased condition, and the opening on the metal frame allows hot air and wood debris generated during cutting to escape. Employee #1 was taken to Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital and hospitalized for three days, during which he had surgery on his thumb. Employee #1 worked for Expert Construction Company.
