Employee Amputates Finger While Using Table Saw

On December 19, 2008, Employee #1 was cutting plastic into 1 in. wide pieces on a table saw. The table saw did not have a hood (guard) over the saw blade. Employee #1 placed his right hand on the outfeed side of the plastic as he reached with his left hand to pick up the push stick. The plastic piece kicked back, pulling his right hand across the unguarded saw blade. His right index finger contacted the blade and was amputated. He was transported to a medical center, where he received treatment and was hospitalized.
