Investigation Summary
At approximately 4:50 p.m. on June 20, 1988, Employee #1 was at a work bench sharpening a rotary lawnmower blade that was secured in a vise. He was using a Florida pneumatic FP 2000 high speed sander, serial #50736, that was equipped with an unguarded 4 1/2 in. reinforced type 27 grinding wheel. The grinding wheel fractured and a fragment penetrated Employee #1's lower left chest and his heart, killing him. At the time of the accident, a bench grinder that was normally used to sharpen blades was being used by another employee.
