Abstract: At approximately 5:59 p.m. on August 2, 1993, Employees #1 and #2 were operating a hand-held, cord-connected surface grinder to grind a piece of iron on the ground. This unsafe procedure created a broken wheel, which flew at a high speed and struck the employees. They were taken to White Memorial Hospital, hospitalized, and treated for broken fingers and leg injuries. The employer was advised to observe safety rules and regulations to prevent any accident in the future.
