Investigation Summary
On December 13, 2011, Employee #1, with Aerospace Fabrications of Georgia, Inc., was assisting in restarting an abrasive waterjet machine after it had been moved from one location to another. The machine operates at 55,000 psi and is used to cut metal. A high pressure water line runs from an intensifier (machine/pump that brings the water to the appropriate pressure) to the waterjet machine. A high pressure water line coupling failed allowing the water to pierce Employee #1 in the chest, killing him.
