CFA submitted comments to the CPSC in supports of its proposed Safety Standard Addressing Blade-Contact Injuries on Table Saws.  The rule would include a performance standard for active injury mitigation (AIM) technology, which would limit the depth of cut by a spinning table saw blade to no more than 3.5 mm.  According to the 2017 CPSC Special Study, there were an estimated 26,501 blade contact injured treated in emergency rooms in 2017. The CPSC projects an additional 22,675 blade contact injuries were treated in other settings. The Commission’s rigorous and objective analysis demonstrates the need for this proposed rule. CFA supports the proposed rule and urges the Commission to quickly finalize it.
