Investigation Summary
At 9:15 a.m. on September 20, 2007, Employee #1 was seriously injured while operating a Black & Decker Firestorm table saw at a jobsite located at 1197 Whitehawk Dr. in Clio CA. According to Employee #1 and the manager, Employee #1 did not use the table saw routinely. Employee #1 and a coworker were assigned to build shelves for the shop and were setting up the project when the accident occurred. Employee #1 was assigned to help the coworker hold the 4 ft by 8 ft sheet of plywood he was ripping. Prior to starting the project they decided to cut a sample piece of wood, approximately 15.5 in. by 18 in. when the board got stuck in the table saw (Black & Decker, Firestorm, 15 amps, 10 in. blade, Type 1, 120V AC 60 Hz, 5000 rpm). According to all accounts, the saw was guarded at the time of the accident, but Employee #1 and the coworker were attempting to move the guard out of the way to see the jam while the saw was still on. Employee #1's thumb was severed at the knuckle joint as a result of the activity. According to the coworker and the manager, Employee #1 was not supposed to be using the saw, just holding the board, so they did not provide any safety training on the equipment.
