Investigation Summary
At 7:20 a.m. on November 28, 2017, Employee #1 installed a new abrasive wheel on a machine that had been locked/tagged out. Afterwards, Employee #1 started the abrasive wheel and soon realized that a rag, placed over the arbor guard on the wheel to prevent coolant spray from leaking, began to get drawn into the wheel. As he reached into the rotating wheel, Employee #1 slipped off of his work platform. His left hand contacted the the wheel, resulting in his left ring finger at the first major knuckle being amputated. He also sustained a deep gouge to his left index finger between the first and second knuckles. Employee #1 was hospitalized for treatment.
