Narrative

EE was working on a scaffold approx. 5 feet high, cutting a lentle over the door to the Dryer MCC bldg. the saw hit a piece of rebar causing it to bind and kick back. This action caused the scaffold to move near the edge of the concrete stoop it was on. EE lost his balance during this move, causing him to fall. A spotter was with him but unable to react quickly enough.
