Investigation Summary
At 3:16 p.m. on July 28, 1995, Employee #1, of Safeway Iron Works, Los Angeles, CA, was cutting, welding, and installing a decorative metal fence and gates at a residence. He was holding a metal frame while his immediate supervisor was using a hand-held Black and Decker grinder to cut or grind the frame. The cutting wheel on the grinder broke and a piece struck Employee #1 on the left forearm. He was transported to Los Angeles County USC Medical Center, where he was hospitalized for eight days. The causal factor was the lack of a guard or cover on the cutting wheel. A serious violation of T8CCR 3328 (e) was cited.
