Investigation Summary

At 10:00 a.m. on February 17, 2020, an employee was working at an automotive body shop. He was an auto body technician. Some of the work the shop did involved exotics or restorations. The firm's auto body technicians would sometimes dismantle cars to do make repairs on them. In such cases, the cars were put on a Celette Griffon XL workbench and moved around the facility from station to station. In this instance, the employee and some other auto body technicians were performing body work on an SUV. They were moving the SUV atop a Celette workbench. As the workers were maneuvering the bench, one of the employee's toes was pinched by a workbench caster. A bone in his toe was fractured. The employee was hospitalized. The employer reported the incident to the Division.
