Incident on Sep 15, 2008: Employee's fingertip is amputated by mitre saw
At approximately 10:15 a.m. on September 15, 2008, Employee # 1 was operating a Mitre Saw to cut wood products. The saw was actuated by a foot pedal. He positio ned the product in the saw and, at the same time, inadvertently bumped the foot pedal, which caused the saw to actuate. Employee # 1 amputated his left middle f ingertip and was transported to Mercy of Tiffin Hospital, in Tiffin, Ohio. Follo wing the accident, the foot pedal was found to be defective. The spring loaded p edal did not completely return to its 'up' position. It was determined that the original saw guard was replaced by the employer with a smaller guard, which prov ided significantly less distance between an operator's hands and the point of op eration. There were no witnesses to the accident.
