Investigation Summary
On October 19, 2009, an employee, a saw operator reached under a moving bandsaw blade to remove a piece of material. The un used portion of the blade was missing a guard. His glove on the left hand was caught by the saw and his hand was momentarily caught between the saw blade and the surface below. The saw cut the bone along the knuckles of his hand, and the three outer fingers and part of his hand were later amputated at the hospital. The employee was hospitalized and treated for fingers amputation.
