Investigation Summary
On January 2, 1992, Employee #1 was working on a clock when he heard a hissing noise from the small portable compressor on the floor. He knelt and reached under the compressor to try to feel if there was any air escaping. The compressor tank then blew, slamming Employee #1's hand onto the cement floor. Employee #1 suffered three compound fractures of his right hand and a deep laceration of the middle finger.
