At 8:30 a.m. on February 7, 2019, an employee was working for a firm that manufactured wooden windows and doors. He was operating a table saw to cut a piece of trim. With his right hand, he was using a push piece. The trim was lifting off the table, so he pushed it down with his left hand. The trim kicked back, and his left hand came into contact with the saw blade. He suffered an amputation to his thumb. He was not hospitalized. | |||||||
