Investigation Summary
On November 20, 2007, Employee #1 was building a scaffold for use in constructing a masonry wall at a shopping center undergoing renovation. He was sawing 2 by 4 kickers to be installed with ties to secure the scaffold to the wall in case a vehicle struck the scaffold. Employee #1 was using a Skilsaw to cut the 2-by-4s when he hit a knot and the saw kicked back. His momentum forced the saw into his left hand, with which he had been holding the wood. Employee #1 suffered a serious laceration and was assisted by three coworkers who witnessed the accident. Subsequent investigation determined no T8CCR standards had been violated. Employee #1 was not assigned this particular task, but he believed the measure to be necessary and he commonly installed the 2-by-4s on scaffolds he erected.
