Investigation Summary
At 1:30 p.m. on December 11, 2019, an employee working as a construction laborer for a site preparation contractor was working at a commercial building project site. The employee was using a Stihl TS 500i cut-off saw equipped with a Husqvarna HI8 diamond blade to cut 16-inch diameter Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP). The terminal ends of the pipe were flexing causing the blade became pinched due to the tension on the pipe. This caused the saw to kick back and strike the employee in the face. The employee was hospitalized to treat a facial laceration and nerve damage and required 100 stitches.
