Investigation Summary
At 7:00 a.m. on August 11, 2009, Employee #1, who was employed by a farm labor contractor, was installing 10-inch by 40-foot PVC (polyvinyl chloride) irrigation pipe for a secondary employer. Employee #1 was holding the receiving end of a pipe, while two coworkers pushed another pipe to the coupler. Employee #1 had his left fifth finger in front of the coupler, and it was pinched at the nail bed. A doctor amputated the fingertip to close the wound.
