Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:25 p.m. on July 31, 2009, Employee #1, with KMC, Inc., was operating an Okuma LB-15 CNC lathe to trim excess Babbitt metal from a hole located in the center of a steel part. The part weighed approximately 19 lbs, and was held in place by a hydraulic chuck. The lathe rotated at approximately 1300 rpm. When the part suddenly broke loose from the chuck, it flew through the window and protective bars of the lathe, and struck Employee #1's head. He was transported to RI Hospital, where he died on August 9, 2009.
