Investigation Summary
At 9:02 p.m. on February 8, 1991, Employee #1 was reinstalling the Pitman arm to the sector shaft of a truck's steering box. He was using a hammer to tap the Pitman arm along its splines when a chisel that had been wedged at the side slit of the Pitman arm's hole shot out of its wedged position. The chisel's blunt end struck Employee #1 on the forehead, penetrating approximately 1 inch. He was brought to Queen of the Valley Hospital in West Covina, CA., where he underwent surgery to remove the chisel.
