Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:40 a.m. on August 28, 2007, Employee #1 and a coworker, of Miller Environmental, Inc., were lifting a large, sharp piece of scrap metal from an old oven at a demolition site in San Pedro, CA. Employee #1 was wearing leather-palmed work gloves with a cotton back. When the coworker accidentally let go of the scrap metal, the sharp edge cut through Employee #1's glove, severing his left middle finger at the first digit. Employee #1 was transported to the emergency room at UCLA Harbor General Hospital, where he was treated for the amputated fingertip and released. Employee #1 was apparently assuming the identity of his cousin, a Miller Environmental employee, by using the cousin's name, driver's license, and Social Security number.
