Did you find it strange that job site accidents with table saws aren't included in this report? They must class them differently for some reason. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Rossi To: Blind Handyman List Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 10:00 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Table saw injury report.
Fine Woodworking just posted the abstract to a report about table saw injuries requiring emergency room treatment. This was for only non-work related injuries. There are over 30,000 table saw related injuries a year in the United States. The large majority of those injuries come from contacting the saw blade and involve the fingers and thumb. Pretty scarry when you think about it. Keep your head about you whenever you turn that thing on. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
