All:

I am one of the mentors on Team 811 and we had a serious accident with a student and a table saw a week ago.

Short summary is that the student cut his thumb to the BONE on the table saw blade while ripping a piece of wood.

He had been through safety training and was experienced on this piece of equipment.

The student is now fine, but a millimeter in the wrong direction and he could have severed his thumb.

ACCIDENTS can, and will happen; so please be careful.

As a result we have tightentd up policies with all tools to always have a mentor supervise the work, NO EXCEPTIONS!

I suggest that if you are a mentor or team lead, you consider adopting our policy.

Just today (as a safety mentor), I had to ask one of the other mentors to stop his work and continue in a safe manner. Had I not, he was about to injur himself with a jig saw.
