Narrative

On February 8, 2023, an employee was using a carpentry table saw to cut wooden 2-by-4s. The sawblade caught fibers on the wood and kicked the wood back toward the employee, who tried to stabilize it. The unguarded sawblade then struck the employee's left hand, amputating a fingertip just below the nail. The employee was hospitalized.
