A 10-foot by 12-foot wooden sheer wall panel was being installed. The plywood sheeting on the panel was too long and had to be trimmed down in order to make the seams flush between two other panels. An employee had just turned to walk away from the panel to retrieve a saw when it fell toward him, crushing his left leg from shin to foot.
