Investigation Summary
Employee #1, of Foster Farms, was using a 0.5-in., low-speed-high-torque drill to ream out calcium deposits from the tubes in a heat-exchanger unit. A drill bit hung up in one of the tubes, and the drill was pulled from his hand. The drill's cord wrapped around Employee #1's left hand and severely injured his left index and ring fingers. The drill was not equipped with a deadman switch.
