Investigation Summary
At 11:31 a.m. on August 23, 1990, Employee #1 was installing zero clearance fireplaces. His hands were hot and sweaty and, as he attempted to connect a stainless steel elbow inside the double wall flue, his hand slipped and came in contact with the extremely sharp circular edge of the stainless steel flue. The employee's right hand was severely cut. He suffered nerve damage and a severed artery. He was taken to Ride Out Emergency Hospital for treatment and was hospitalized for two days. He was not wearing any hand protection, which would have prevented the injury. He has been employed by this company for 11 months.
