Employee #1 was cutting a piece of 2 by 10 lumber in the open area between units. He was standing on a sloped surface using a powered portable circular saw. The saw's model and serial number were not available. When Employee #1 finished the cut, he slipped backward. While trying to regain his balance, he struck his left arm against the saw blade. (Note: the lower portion of the blade guard was wedged up into the upper guard.) Employee #1 suffered an 8 centimeter jagged laceration on the ulnar side of the left volar forearm. | |||||||
