Narrative

On September 21, 2020, an employee was performing boiler maintenance and was using a 6" hand held angle grinder with a wafer cutting wheel to cut block welds in order to remove the cyclone tubes for replacement. While cutting, the cutting wheel became pinched and the grinder kicked back. The employee lost control of the grinder and sustained a laceration on his right leg above the knee that required sutures and hospitalization.
