Employee Is Injured When Saw Kicks Back

At around 10:30 a.m. on July 22, 2005, Employee #1, a tile installer with a subcontractor, was installing a new bathroom countertop and sink in a residential building under renovation. While cutting the sink hole in the countertop (first with a jig saw, and then with a Skil circular saw), the circular saw blade became stuck in the wood and kicked back. Employee #1 was hospitalized for a torso laceration. The investigation showed that the saw's hinged blade guard was stuck in the open position.
