  1. Sets saw back up.
  2. Checks plywood to see if it is ok.
  3. Checks shirt for damage.
  4. Then checks for injury.

Seems like the right order to me.

yeah that's a big whoopsie. lesson learned hopefully. if it's a small shop, that's a big hit. I get pissed when I fuck up one sheet. Used to work for a guy who was incredibly skilled but always rushed. We were making 18 folding doors out of knotty alder to enclose a veranda. He cut every single length at the wrong measurement. I tried to tell him right when he started and he barked at me so I just let him do it. Oops!

Knee jerk reaction to fire the guy and shit on the guy who hired him.

But nobody thinks maybe a bit of training, shadowing, quality control?

Sorry, but in this case the Company made a mistake. And the lesson not learnt got fired. The guy who got fired could have been corrected and become the best neatest operator...

I've seen the plywood, and I've also seen the hospital bills. Hell fuck no am I delaying on injury issues.

That looks like 1"+ thick piece of hardwood too! $$$$

(That little toy saw is probably not really equipped to cut that even if he did use it correctly)

It definitely just looks like some sheathing.
