Investigation Summary
On August 17, 2009, Employee #1 was ripping a piece of wood on the table saw. A guard of the table saw not in place. The wood apparently kicked, and Employee #1's hand was thrown up and drawn into the revolving blade. The saw was not equipped with anti-kick back teeth. During the investigation, an adjacent saw also had the guard in a position, which made the saw inoperable. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
