Abstract: On or about November 28, 2005, Employee #1 was cutting an approximately 8 in. diameter iron ductile pipe with a cut-off saw equipped with a diamond blade. He finished one cut and moved the saw to another location approximately 2 ft along the pipe. He almost cut it through when the pipe dropped and pinched the saw blade. The saw blade was instantly thrown up with a great force in a rotational motion, striking the employee in the left side of his face. He sustained a deep laceration from below his left eye to the corner of his lip. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
