Abstract: At approximately 12:30 p.m. on June 25, 2013, Employee #1, an 18-year-old employed as a construction helper by a construction contractor, was working at a private residence. His employer had been contracted by the general contractor to install new wood flooring, with all materials provided by the general contractor. According to the subsequent investigation, the general contractor was not aware of Employee #1, and the employer did not usually have employees. It was Employee #1's second day working for the employer. He was helping to cut the wood boards, using a Dewalt chop saw. His left arm came into contact with the saw blade. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where he was hospitalized and treated for a serious laceration down to the bone on his left arm. He was hospitalized for just over 24 hours and released at 8:00 p.m. on June 25, 2013.
