Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 126091917
Event: 11/01/2002
Employee amputates fingers while operating circular saw

At approximately 12:53 p.m. on November 1, 2002, Employee #1, a production worker, working for an employer that manufactures window shutters, was cutting stock (wood composite material) using a 2-horsepower CTD circular saw, Model Number F255, with a 14-inch blade. The employee inadvertently placed his right hand directly under the saw blade and, when his left hand lowered the saw lever, he amputated his right thumb, index finger, and middle finger. He was hospitalized with his injuries. The employer indicated that the saw was working without any problem immediately after the incident. Employee #1 was not experienced at using the circular saw and stated that he was rushed to cut faster and was interrupted to re-cut parts that he did not cut accurately the first time.
