Investigation Summary
On March 28, 2007, an employee had finished a cleaning job and was cleaning a Graco, brand airless sprayer. He had first cleaned it with water and had put some paint thinner into it. It was plugged in and he was cleaning some paint off the tip guard with his thumb and forefinger. He was not aware that his middle finger was hanging in front of the spray orifice. At that time he activated the sprayer, which injected thinner into his middle finger. He was initially treated and released but subsequently required six surgical interventions and ultimately amputation of the finger.
