Investigation Summary
On June 10, 2002, Employee #1, a welder for a scrap metal recycling company, was constructing/refurbishing a 0.25-inch angle iron. Employee #1 was using a large grind wheel to smooth the angle iron, approximately 4 inches in length. The part slipped between the tool rest and the moving wheel, causing Employee #1's glove to get caught. He shut the machine down, but the tip of his right thumb had been injured. Employee #1 was hospitalized and treated for his injuries, which included the amputation of the tip of his right thumb.
