Investigation Summary
On April 19, 2011, Employee #1, with Heritage Paper, was using an unguarded table saw to make a bevel cut in a plywood strip approximately 0.75 in. by 1.25 in. by 23.5 in. He pushed the wood strip into blade with his left hand. When the wood strip kicked back, Employee #1's left fingers contacted the blade. He was hospitalized at Valley Medical Center for amputations of his second, third, and fourth fingers. Employee #1 was transferred to California Pacific Medical Center for surgery to reattach two of the amputated fingers. The cause of the accident was failure to use a saw blade guard and a push stick while making the cut.
