Narrative

During the demolition and removal of 30"" HDPE piping, IE utilized a Sawzall hand tool to cut piping. The Sawzall blade broke and became lodged in the pipe. IE was not aware that the broken blade was protruding from the pipe and rose from EE's position. As EE rose, EE's thigh above EE's left knee came into contact with the broken blade, causing a laceration.
