FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin The Nautical Institute draws lessons learned from an incident where an electrician suffered a serious hand injury during cutting operations. On board a vessel, an electrician was cutting a steel pipe with a grinding tool. The protecting guard of the grinder had been removed to permit the use of a larger disc. Suddenly, the grinding disk shattered and flying disc parts caused a deep cut on the victim’s right hand. The crew member could not subsequently fulfil his duties and had to be repatriated.
