Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:55 a.m. on July 14, 2000, Employee #1 was using a Black and Decker portable grinder with a new 9-in. stone wheel to grind down the rough edges of an oval 57 in. by 95 in. metal head used in water tanks. He had the oval head on a stand outside the shop. As he was working, the wheel struck a small groove in the metal head and the grinder kicked out of his left hand, seriously lacerating his left forearm. Employee #1 walked into the shop and collapsed. He was transported to a local hospital, where he underwent surgery on his tendons and nerves. Employee #1 was a personnel service company worker. The secondary employer was cited for a general violation of T8CCR 3203(a)(7), regarding training, and for a serious, accident-related violation of T8CCR 3583(a), for failure to guard the abrasive wheel on the portable grinder.
