Investigation Summary
On October 29, 2009, Employee #1, who was employed fulltime by a metal polishing company, was operating a Belt Master polishing machine. As Employee #1 was polishing a part, he inadvertently allowed the part to wander below the center of the polishing wheel, causing the wheel to yank the part out of his hands. The part struck the bottom edge of the wheel guard cover, which Employee #1 had pushed back approximately 12 inches to 18 inches, causing it to bounce back and hit Employee #1 across the forehead. Employee #1 lost his right eye, and his forehead was lacerated above his left and right eye brows. He was hospitalized.
