While jointing a piece of wood, after the piece had passed over the jointer cutter, the member indicated that he had lost balance causing the outside heel of his right hand to come into contact with the jointer cutter.  The cutter guard was still partially open by the work-piece.

The incident was reviewed with a board member and the following adjustments were made and recommendations received.  All guards were in place and proper pusher tools were in use.

The following recommendations were made by the member:

Put down floor tape to show where you should stand when using the Planer.

Insure the First Aid kit is complete. (I believe that Dave has a person doing this at MS-P)

Emphasize location of the First Aid kit at Member Orientation and all Red Tool classes.

Add a First Aid Class.

Install an Emergency Call button in various shops to call for aid.  No user involvement beyond pushing the button.  Do show and tell in Red Tool classes.  (Jim is in conversation with Bryan, our 911 center member, about how this could be done.)

Front door should stay unlocked when building is occupied (Auto locking may prevent emergency personnel ingress during an emergency.)

Emergency Services should have information on our location, layout, and how to gain access.  (Jim is in conversation with Bryan about how to disseminate  this information.)<recommendations>
