Employee Lacerates Finger While Operating Band Saw

On March 30, 2011, Employee #1, a meat clerk, was operating a Hobart Model band saw (Number 5801 Serial Number 27164108). He was using the saw to cut a beef shank in half. The saw blade guard was approximately 0.5 in. above the beef shank. As he made the cut, the saw blade hit a hard bone spot, which caused the shank to twist and deflect from its travel direction. Employee #1 inadvertently struck the saw blade with his left index finger. He suffered a laceration on the finger. Employee #1 was taken to a medical center, where he underwent treatment and was hospitalized.
