Narrative

At 9:25 a.m. on November 28, 2022, an employee was helping a co-worker operate a band saw. As he was assisting to remove the unused stock from the support table, another piece of steel bar stock weighing approximately 1,430 to 1,560 pounds came out of the saw's clamp and rolled, causing the table to tip due to the weight. The bar then fell off the table and struck the employee, resulting in crush injuries to the lower leg and foot. The lower leg was surgically amputated.
