Investigation Summary
At 10:30 a.m. on August 22, 2020, an employee working as a laborer for a pipe and pipe fitting fabricator was operating the CCP belt sander. The employee touched the weld being sanded to judge how much more sanding was needed. In doing so, he pinched his left hand between the pipe and sanding belt. The employee fractured his left middle finger, requiring outpatient surgery to insert pins into his finger.
