Narrative

Two maintenance employees changed the split saw on the number one platform bench. The second employee got off the platform bench and walked to the back of the bench to plug in the saw cords. When the platform bench lowered, the second employee's left leg got caught between the floor and the bench resulting in a lower leg laceration.
