An OSHA investigation launched at a Georgia furniture manufacturing facility after a worker lost part of a finger to a table saw revealed that his employer, Tritter Feefer Home Collection LLC, had removed the safety guards from the saw.
The 26-year -old furniture builder was using the saw on Dec. 14, 2015 to cut wood strips, when his right hand made contact with the saw blade. The tip of his middle finger was amputated and he suffered deep cuts to his index finger and thumb.
