Employee lacerated when grinder disc kicks back

Employee #1 was using a hand grinder with a 9 in. flexible grinding disc to smooth a weld on the inside edge of a steel I-beam. He later stated that he was anticipating lunch time and wanted to finish the job. In his haste, he took his eye off the work to look at a coworker. The edge of his grinding disc became caught and kicked back at him. He suffered a serious cut on his hand and several lacerations on his stomach.
