Abstract: At approximately 8:30 a.m. on February 10, 2017, Employee #1 was loading logs into Saw Mill Block Number 1. Employee #1 had stopped and approached one of the other Saw Mill's booths and was talking to its operator. The circular saw blade on block one was cutting a log when suddenly started to wobble. After a few seconds, the saw blade broke and a piece flew straight up into the air. The loose piece came down about ten feet from its location, falling and striking Employee #1. Employee #1 suffered a deep laceration to his right side of his face. Employee #1 was transported to a medical center, where he underwent burn treatment and was then hospitalized.
