Investigation Summary
At 2:00 p.m. on September 8, 2017, an employee was using a pneumatic chisel to dig through asphalt to install a metal plate against the wall. During work, the pneumatic chisel got stuck in the asphalt. The employee attempted to free the chisel while it was running; however, was too close to the wall. His right pinky finger became caught in between the body of the chisel and the wall, resulting in its amputation.
