February 20, 2001 TX · Metal/Non-Metal welder (shop) MACHINERY

Squaw Creek Materials LP · Struck against stationary object

EE WAS TUNING THE CARBURETOR ON A LINCLON WELDER, LOCATED IN THE EQUIPMENT YARD. HIS RIGHT HAND WAS STRUCK BY THE FAN BLADE. IN THAT THE EE HAD ON GLOVES, THE BLADE DID NOT "CUT" THE HAND. HOW EVER, THE GLANCING IMPACT OF THE FAN BLADE CAUSED THE SKIN FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FIRST JOUNT ON THE INDEX FINGER OF THE RIGHT HAND TO BE PEELED BACK REQUIRING STITCHES.
