Narrative

An employee was using a table saw to make a part for a door. He was cleaning some of the wood dust and scraps from the side of the blade when his left thumb was pulled into the saw blade, amputating his thumb tip below the nailbed but above the knuckle. The saw was unguarded at the time.
