Investigation Summary
On December 18, 2003, Employee #1, the owner was operating a Makita 7-in. angle grinder fitted with a 7.25-in. Oldham all-purpose carbide blade to create a 2 in. by 4 ft board. He was cutting the board for a gap created between the two pallets. As he was using the grinder, it unexpectedly kicked causing the blade to cut severely his left upper thigh, leaving an approximate 8-in. laceration. Another coworker applied direct pressure to the wound until emergency medical personnel arrived. Emergency medical personnel began administering first aid and attempt advanced life support, but to no avail. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
