Investigation Summary
On July 19, 1999, Employee #1, an air conditioner mechanic, was working at a state/county fire station to correct an erratic shutdown problem on a rooftop air conditioning unit. He put his left hand on the unit to get a closer look and inadvertently got too close to the operating condenser fan. The blade lacerated his third, fourth, and fifth fingers. His third finger was struck at mid-joint and flesh was removed and tendons and nerves were cut; it was surgically repaired.
