Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was employed by a sub-contractor pouring the concrete slabs for private homes. He was using a hand-held 5 in. angle grinder with a motor rated at 10,000 rpm. The guard had been removed. A 12 in. by 1/8 in. by 7/8 in. concrete cutting blade with a label stating "Do not exceed 6,3000 rpm" was mounted on the grinder, which was being used to cut down 5 in. of the concrete slab for the house/garage side door. After nine cuts had been made the blade shattered, and a section struck Employee #1 in the chest, lacerating his heart and killing him.
