“Males (97 percent) and adults (97 percent) accounted for the majority of table saw-related injuries. In comparison to adults, children were more likely to injure their heads, faces and necks and to be injured at school.

“While the majority of the children who were injured were between the ages of 14 and 17 years, children as young as 6 years were found to be injured while operating a table saw,” said study author Brenda Shields, MS, research coordinator at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. “More research is needed to determine appropriate age restrictions.””
