Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:06 a.m., on September 2, 2011, Employee #1, a polishing machine operator of Sosa Granite & Marble, Inc., was cutting a 55 gallon drum in half using a Milwaukee Cut-Off Saw with a 14 inch general purpose metal cutting blade. The gallon previously contained acetone. Employee #1 asked Employee#2 and Employee #3 to assist him to cut the drum. Employee #2 and Employee #3 were holding the drum horizontally in place while Employee #1 stood near the top of the drum while operating the cut-off saw. Within about 5 minutes of cutting, heat from the bung opening came out and burned Employee #1's right leg. Employee #1 was transported initially to Valley Care Medical Center in Pleasanton and later transferred to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center for the treatment of his second degree burns.
