Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:00 a.m. on July 20, 2012, Employee #1 was operating a powered 6-in. hand held grinder. The grinder held a 6 in. carbine composite cut-off blade. He was cutting a welded right angle gusset on 2-in. by 2-in. steel square tubing assembled basket rack system. As he was using the grinder, the cutoff blade blew apart and created sharp points on the remainder blade. The jagged blade struck Employee #1's forearm after the grinder kicked back. Employee #1 suffered an approximate 1 in. laceration that was approximately 0.75 in. deep on his top left forearm. Employee #1 received medical care at a hospital and was then released, returning to work three days later.
