Employee #1 stated that the accident and injuries occurred when, as he was cutting a wedge in the board, the Skilsaw kicked back for some reason. He was cutting the wedges in the open area of the pallet so that he was only cutting the 2-inch by 4-inch board and not cutting into the wood of the bench surface.
He rotated the board after each wedge was cut so that the next wedge could be cut from the other side of the board. He was holding the board with his left hand and cutting the board with his right hand with the board lying on the bench. He was cutting the 2-inch by 4-inch board on a flat bench made by placing a pallet on two saw horses. He was wearing tight fitting gloves that had been provided by the company. He used the trigger switch of the Skilsaw, a momentary contact switch as defined in CCR 3941, to energize the saw so that it would cut the 2-inch by 4-inch board. He was using a fairly new Skilsaw Model SHD77 worm drive circular saw with Serial Number 785-103083 to cut the wedges. The wedges were roughly less than one inch to an inch tall on one end by seven inches to eight inches long by 1.625 inches wide. He was a journeyman carpenter with eleven years experience as a carpenter.Īt the time of the accident, Employee #1 was cutting wedges off the end of a 2-inch by 4-inch board believed to be approximately 20 inches long. On July 28, 2010, Employee #1 was working as a regular employee for the construction company Edge Development, Inc.
