Abstract: At approximately 9:30 a.m. on January 9, 2002, Employee #1, a framer/carpenter, was working from a scissor lift using a skill saw making a miter cut. Employee #1 was set up between 2-ft-on-center ceiling joists. The guard was in place, however, after making a cut the saw bound up and kicked back. Employee #1 had no place to go since he was working at the back of the basket and his clothing caught the blade. Employee #1 sustained a stomach laceration for which he was hospitalized.
