Abstract: At approximately 10:30 a.m. on August 17, 2006, Employee #1 was drilling into several layers of hardpan near City Pond #1 with a CME 45 geotechnical drilling rig. After drilling to a depth of approximately 20 feet, he began to extract the auger using the hydraulic drill head. While he was using the controls to position the auger, the rig shifted. As a reflex action, the employee reached for the auger to stabilize it, and his right middle finger was severed between the auger and the rig. He was transported to University Medical Center, where he was hospitalized.
