Investigation Summary
At 10:20 a.m. on September 23, 1998, a serious injury accident occurred inside the welding department of the SDI Industries conveyor systems manufacturing facility. Employee #1, a machine operator, was cutting 3-inch lengths of 0.35-inch-diameter metal pipe with a power circular metal cutting saw. He reached to recover a cut piece of the stock that had fallen outside of the normal collection area. The moving saw blade snagged his leather glove and pulled his right hand into the blade, lacerating his hand and wrist. Employee #1 was transported to Holy Cross Hospital in Mission Hills by Fire Department Paramedics for emergency treatment. Subsequent treatment was at the Los Angeles County/USC Medical Center, where he was hospitalized for a week.
