GRINDER WHEEL INJURY
Details
A contractor received a deep cut injury to his neck and side of the head whilst
using a 7” grinder to dress steel plate. As he positioned himself to carry out
his task, the draw strings from his jacket hood became entangled in the
rotating spindle of the grinder; this resulted in the grinder being drawn
towards his head and neck. It happened so quickly that he had no time to
think or react to protect himself. Potentially this incident could have been
catastrophic.
