Atlantic Carbon Group, Inc. · Struck by flying object

While seated on a stool, the Miner was cutting an overhead piece of metal with an angle grinder equipped with a cutoff wheel. The wheel caught on the edge of the metal causing the grinder to be ripped from the Miner's hands. The grinder struck the Miner's left leg causing a laceration that required stitches.
