Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was a public works supervisor overseeing equipment maintenance and repair. A 75 kilowatt generator was having running problems and the fuel injection pump had been replaced. The unit was still running rough and the maintenance man called Employee #1, his supervisor, to inform him of the problem. When he arrived, Employee #1 started to bleed the fuel lines and his open-end wrench slipped from the flange nut. His right hand struck the unguarded rotating fan blades and was severely lacerated on the palm; two fingers were amputated. The fan blade guard had been removed for work on the injector pump.
