Did you know that since 2004 saws have been in production that when contact is made with human skin, an aluminum block stops the whirling power saw blade within 5 milliseconds? Injuries that result can usually be treated with a bandaid. Amputations become a thing of the past. And did you know that power-saw related injuries are one of the leading causes of all workplace injuries in the United States? Steve Gass was a physicist, patent attorney and amateur wordworker who developed this amazing technology. By 2001, all major saw manufacturers had been treated to an exhibition of this new and powerful technology. Despite Gass’s pitch to each of them, each in turn declined to embrace this available technology. At Resolution Services, Inc., we believe this was a major mistake by these manufacturers. Even today, only a few offer the technology and then as a more costly option. Isn’t this sort of like letting car manufacturers offer seat belts but only as costly options? “State of the Art” arrived in 2001 and companies continue to pass on this at their own peril. If you have a significant saw-related claim, let’s discuss how we might recover your benefit costs for you. If you were injured yourself, contact us for more information.
