Investigation Summary
At 10:00 a.m. on October 27, 2019, an employee was painting a 4-inch natural gas pipe after mixing the paint with an 18-volt power drill with a paint mixer attachment. When the employee finished painting, they attempted to clean the residual paint off the mixer attachment by wiping it off on a nylon sack. He accidentally actuated the drill power button and the attachment wound up the nylon sack. The employee's left pinky finger became tangled in the material of the tightly wrapped nylon sack, amputating the employee's finger. The employee was hospitalized.
