Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:00 a.m. on August 24, 2007, Employee #1 was changing a drill bit on a Spiral Drill Water Well Drilling Rig. He put his left index finger into the bit slot to clear away the sand and debris so that the pin would fit in. As he put his finger into the Kelly Bar keyway, a coworker pulled up the Kelly Bar, causing it to pull away from the bit keyway. Employee #1's left finger was amputated between the first and second joint. Employee #1 was first treated at Antelope Valley Hospital, and later that day sent to Loma Linda Hospital for further treatment.
