Employee's Eye Is Lacerated by Loose Strap

On November 22, 2006, Employee #1 was using a brake drum turning machine to turn the rotor from a vehicle.

The metal fastener for the strap got caught on the fixed grinder which disengaged the strap. Employee #1 was injured when the strap struck him in the face. He was wearing the appropriate safety glasses, as required by the employer. Employee #1 was hospitalized for a laceration to his right eye.
