Employee's Finger Is Amputated Using Hammer Drill

At approximately 9:30 a.m. on December 2, 2009, Employee #1 and a coworker were working with a hammer drill, drilling holes through concrete prior to inject chemicals for termite treatment. Employee #1 started drilling the first hole when the drill bit became stuck in the concrete. He tried to pull the drill out with his left hand, and accidentally turned on the hammer drill with his right hand. His leather glove on his left hand flew out with a portion of his ring finger. Employee #1 was hospitalized with an amputated finger.
