Narrative

An employee was using a gasoline-powered cut-off saw to cut a section of guardrail bolted to a concrete bridge abutment. As he was completing the cut, the guardrail sprung out of its spot and fell downward onto the saw. This pushed the sawblade into the top of the employee's left foot, just behind the steel toe of his shoe. The employee sustained a laceration that required hospitalization.
