Investigation Summary
At 11:45 a.m. on September 18, 2020, an employee was operating a band saw, cutting cardboard. While operating the band saw, the adjustable guard attached to the blade was a few inches higher than it should have been. The employee got his fingers too close to the blade, which resulted in an amputation of the right-hand thumb. The employee was hospitalized.
