AT APPROXIMATELY 2 PM ON MAY 20, 1988, EMPLOYEE #1 WAS USING A TYPE B6A2 DIAMOND EDGE ORGANICALLY BONDED 6 INCH DIAMETER ABRASIVE WHEEL. THE WHEEL WAS BEING OPERATED AT 3 TIMES THE MAXIMUM SPEED RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE WHEEL WAS OVERSIZED FOR THE GRINDER, SO THE GUARD COULD NOT BE USED ON THE TOOL POST GRINDER. WHEN THE WHEEL SUDDENLY EXPLOSIVELY DISINTEGRATED, A FRAGMENT STRUCK EMPLOYEE #1 ON THE LEFT SIDE OF HIS NECK AND JAW, KILLING HIM INSTANTLY.
