Incident on Jan 15, 2021: Employee mixing concrete amputates finger
At 2:20 p.m. on January 15, 2021, Employee #1, a newly hired laborer employed by a waterproofing company, was engaged in waterproofing work at the construction site for two hotel/resort buildings. She was tasked with mixing concrete in 5-gallon buckets. The employee used a one-half-inch Dewalt Spade Handle Drill, Model DW130V, to mix the concrete. The drill was missing the side handle, and the employee was operating the drill while wearing gloves. The glove of her left hand became entangled in the chuck of the drill, and her pinky finger was partially amputated. The employee was transported to the hospital for treatment of the finger amputation and released without hospitalization.
