Investigation Summary
On April 12, 2011, at approximately 1400 hours, an employee was cutting an approximate four by six piece of wood into a one foot piece with a Skilsaw (Model: SHD77) in order to make forms to pour concrete for a curb drain project. The employee had placed the piece of wood on his ankle and was holding it with his left hand, and operating the saw with his right hand.
