Investigation Summary
At 8:45 a.m. on February 1, 2020, an employee, a mechanic, was making the hole of a battery cable lug larger using a drill press (Blackhawke Machine Tools Model PD22-12) and a 3 inch long by ? inch wide drill bit. The battery cable was approximately 20 inches in length. The lug section of the battery cable was secured on a vice. Once the hole was made, the mechanic proceeded to lift the drill bit; as he performed this action, the lug section of the battery cable dislodged off the vice and was stuck to the drill bit. The cable battery cable proceeded to spin and caught the left hand of the mechanic and drove it towards the chuck and drill bit resulting in a laceration. The employee sustained a laceration to the left middle finger, requiring surgery and hospitalization for over 24 hours. The factor that caused the accident was the cable being dislodged off the vice. There were no accident-related violations, but two general violations were identified related to the drill press [2500.10 and 3328(d)].
