Investigation Summary
Employee #1, of a meat cutting and distributing company, had been assigned to cut beef neck bones measuring 4 in. high by 6 in. wide by 20 in. long. He was operating a Butcher Boy bandsaw with an adjustable blade guard 9 in. above the table and 5 in. above the stock being cut. The guard was not placed down to the stock to prevent accidental contact with the blade, and Employee #1 sustained a partial amputation of his right index finger. There were no witnesses to the accident.
