Grinding down welds on the repaired cm drum in building D
What happened
Grinding welds with a grinder grinder was plugged into an extension cord that had been repaired with a replacement end that was shorted internally. When it would lose connection “it had to be kicked once and a while to keep it going”. The grinder stopped working with the safety and trigger depressed with his right hand. The employee then used his left hand to “steady himself while kicking the connection to make the grinder come back on”. When the connection was kicked the trigger safety was already depressed by his right hand holding the grinder which made it turn on instantly. The grinder then slipped out of his right hand and struck the back of his left hand cutting it open.
