## Narrative

An employee had just finished cutting porterhouse steaks and was preparing to move them to his block for trimming and packaging. He was moving to turn the saw off when the stack of cut steaks, on the table of the saw, started to fall over. The saw amputated the tip of his right middle finger and lacerated his right index finger, causing a cut that required stitches.
