Investigation Summary
At approximately 4:30 p.m. on September 24, 1996, Employee #1 inserted a steel block into a lathe to "dress" or machine mold it, and selected a high rotational speed. The block separated from the lathe's three-jaw chuck and struck Employee #1. He suffered a serious head injury and the loss of his left eye. The Division proposed the employer be cited for a serious violation of T8CCR 3203(a)(7) because the employer had not trained the employee about the hazards unique to the operation of metalworking lathes.
