Narrative

On February 14, 2023, an employee was using a power saw to cut a cross-support for a shutter when the support piece became wedged between the saw guide fence and the saw blade, causing their left thumb tip to contact the blade. The employee suffered a laceration, resulting in an amputation that was surgically reattached.
