Narrative

Employee failed to recognize the saw block tipping over, which was very out of normal. The method used was the same as all routine extractions. He was able to distance himself enough to avoid serious injury, but was hit by the drill and dogs, knocking him down and causing hip fracture and arm lacerations.
