5 Lessons Learnt During the course of reinforcing cage construct, some reinforcing bars needed to be trimmed to fit. This was done in close to an access route.

6 Lessons Learnt As someone walked past the area were the cutting was taking place, it caused the material to move

7 Lessons Learnt The movement caused the blade of the disc cutter to jam in the material and fracture the blade.

8 Lessons Learnt The flying piece of blade hit the operators hand, but it could have been far worse. ALWAYS CLAMP MATERIAL WHEN CUTTING and use THE CORRECT GLOVES.
