Abstract: At approximately 8:34 a.m. on July 29, 2008, Employee #1 was a carpenter. He was using a Makita Planer to plane the corner of the pitched roof of a commercial building. He had been standing with his feet on different trusses. When he kneeled down with his left knee, he slipped and lost his balance. He fell 13 ft to the concrete floor. His left upper arm was fractured and his left shoulder was dislocated. The blade of the planer struck his left middle finger and amputated it. Employee #1 was hospitalized for treatment of his injuries.
