Shop Teacher Nearly Killed : - Kent Broadhead, a Highland resident who teaches wood shop at Clavton Intermediate School in Salt Lake City, was injured Friday when a piece of wood flew off the lathe and struck him in the forehead. His wife, LaDonna, said, "He nearly lost his life today. That wood was about a foot long and six inches across. The lathe was set on nearly its slowest revolution, without being stopped altogether. It just disintegrated."

"When the wood flew up and hit him, it laid his forehead open to the bone from his hairline to his nose," LaDonna said." He has a fracture going across his forehead," she continued, "and they said it hit him so hard that even the membrane around his brain was ruptured, so it was just like an open hole to his brain."

"It was just little kids in there with him, "th and 8th graders," she went on. "He was out like a light and bleeding profusely, and they were just frantic. They ran to the office and called the paramedics." Broadhead was taken by ambulance to the University of Utah Medical Center. By Sunday night he was listed in good condition. The Broadheads live in Highland and have five children. Kent has a master's degree in industrial arts from BYU. Richard Bailey, who also teaches at Clayton, said in an interview, "I've worked with him for two years at Clayton and he's a very conscientious teacher. He's worked very hard with the students. He's gone out of his way to help the kids produce some really fine stuff and to really learn." "Of all the guys I've worked with, he's one of the best. He knows his stuff. I learn from him," he continued. Shop equipment standards are set by OSHA, Occupational Safety and Health Agency, a federal agency. Dale H. Price, the principal at Lehi High School was most open and cooperative. He said he hadn't been aware of a hazard, as OSHA makes frequent, thorough inspections, and they had not appraised him of any violations. He provided a copy of the booklet, "Utah Occupational Safety and Health Rules and Regulations," which reads on page 183, subpart 0.213: "Lathes used for turning long pieces of wood stock held only between the two centers shall be equipped with long, curved guards extending over the tops of the lathes in order to prevent the work pieces from being thrown out of the machines should they become loose." "Let me know when you find out what a 'long piece of wood stock' means, would you? " he asked. Lehi High School has three lathes, none of which are equipped with shields. In an interview with Horace Walker, the wood shop teacher, we found that one of the lathes is 60 years old, the other two 15 years old.
