Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a machine operator in the shaver department of Norton Industries, was working on a cutting tool holder. He was trying to get it out to change it. When the machine hung up, he hit the steel tool holder with a steel hammer, and a steel chip under the holder flew up and lodged in his eye lens. Employee #1 knew that he should wear eye protection when hitting metal with metal. The company has instituted a mandatory eye protection policy for the department.
