An employee was using a table saw to split poplar wood planks measuring 3 inches wide by 8 feet long. He stopped feeding the material into the saw to reach over the saw for a push stick to finish the cut. His right hand was on the end of the material to hold it in place in front of the saw blade when the board tried to kick upward. He placed his left hand on the board behind the saw blade when the board caught on the spinning blade and pulled the board and his left hand into the blade. The employee's middle and index fingers caught on the blade, resulting in amputations that required hospitalization and surgery.

After a workplace injury in Wisconsin
Most work injuries are handled through workers' compensation, which pays medical bills and part of lost wages whether or not anyone was at fault, and usually rules out suing the employer. A separate claim may be possible against someone else, such as an equipment maker or another company on the site. Reporting deadlines are short, so tell your employer about an injury right away.

Source: OSHA's Severe Injury Reports, 2015 through November 2025 (loaded November 9, 2026). Employers must report any work-related amputation, loss of an eye or in-patient hospitalization to OSHA within 24 hours. Employer names, addresses and incident descriptions are as OSHA publishes them. A report records an injury, not a finding that the employer broke a rule; OSHA opens an inspection for some reports. The data covers workplaces under federal OSHA. States that run their own OSHA program (such as California, Washington, Michigan, North Carolina and Virginia) are mostly missing, and work-related deaths are reported separately.
