While working on a Building Technology SBA, an incident occurred leaving Terrony Vincent injured. He was using a power plane to smooth out a piece of wood for his project; however, the wood was not properly secured. Instead of using a clamp on a workstation as recommended, Terrony placed the wood between his legs for support. While working, the wood slipped from its support and hit his upper leg at great speed. This resulted in a large cut with heavy bleeding as well as a bruise on other parts of the leg. The plane hit a nail on the wood which caused the plane to jam. This created a power surge which caused a fire in the outlet box.

2. Develop and compare the problems and solutions.
3. Consider the advantages and disadvantages of various possible solutions.
