Investigation Summary
Employee #1 attached a pipe wrench to the shaft of a wheel polisher to stabilize the shaft while he loosened the end nut. After replacing the end nut, he put a wheel on the shaft for polishing, but failed to remove the pipe wrench. The employee then started the polishing machine. As the shaft began to rotate at 2,735 rpm, Employee #1 stepped into the rotating zone of the pipe wrench. The end of the pipe wrench struck him in the upper left portion of his chest, killing him instantly.
