Investigation Summary
On August 31, 2005, Employee #1 was working as the operator of a mobile car crusher, contracted by an auto dismantler in Valley Springs, CA. He started the automatic cycle of the compaction machinery and then became engaged in a conversation with a coworker. As he was talking, though, he was standing in front of the operating controls. A piece of the automobile being crushed flew out from the machine, striking Employee #1 in the nose and fracturing it. He was hospitalized.
