## Narrative

Two employees were loading paper material onto a conveyor belt. One of them used a portable handsaw to cut the paper material before it was placed on the conveyor. The other employee then took the saw to return it to storage. The blade, still turning, lacerated fingers on his right hand and caused a partial amputation to the right ring finger.
