Employee's Thumb Is Injured While Using Bench Grinder

At approximately 9:20 a.m. on February 2, 2013, an employee offered to sharpen a dull putty knife for a coworker using an Apex 16 inch disc grinder, Make: PAL Industries Inc., Model Number 700-S16, Serial Number 1002. The employee was holding the tool with both hands above the tool rest when the gloved left thumb was caught by the abrasive surface of the disc grinder and the tool rest crushing it.
