    A materials handler attempted to sharpen a bale hook on a grinding wheel without proper training or authorization, catching the hook between the wheel and tool rest, causing the wheel to break and strike him in the face. Though the grinder was properly equipped and maintained, the foreman incorrectly assumed the untrained worker could use it safely without supervision or protective gear, resulting in permanent disability.

    CASE NO.

    A materials handler attempted to sharpen the point of a bale hook on a grinding wheel. The foreman of the department saw
    him, but assumed that anybody can use the little grinder. The material handler caught the point of his hook between the
    tool rest and the wheel. The wheel broke and large piece of it struck him in the face. He was permanently disabled by the
    injury.

    BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

    The bench grinder was properly guarded and mounted. Also, the wheel was properly tested before mounting. The following
    are other pertinent facts:

    1. The tool rest was properly set at 1/8” from the wheel.

    2. Eye protection was available, but obviously not used (goggles)

    3. The shield was evidently not in place.

    4. There was no regulation regarding unauthorized use of equipment.

    5. The materials handler was not from this foreman’s department.

    6. A grinding wheel of this type is proper for sharpening bale hooks.
