Investigation Summary
On December 22, 2009, Employee #1 was using a CNC cutting table to cut 29.5 in. by 21.5 in. pieces of glass from a 6 ft by 7 ft sheet of tempered glass. After the CNC cutting table had scored the glass, Employee #1 broke off a 1 in. by 6 ft and a 1 in. by 7 ft strip of glass. Employee #1 had first disposed of the 1 in. by 6 ft piece into a metal dumpster, which was located near the CNC cutting table. The glass hit something and broke into a 1 in. by 24 in. piece and struck him in his neck. He died due to significant amount of blood loss from the neck laceration.
