Re: HEAD TRAUMA
A 33-year old supervisor (decedent) died when his head was crushed between a hydraulic cylinder and a panel of a plastics injection molding machine. The decedent was setting-up the machine for a run and was in the process of tightening a bolt. While tightening the bolt the decedent positioned his head so that it was between the hydraulic cylinder and a panel of the machine. During this time the machine cycled and his head was caught. The employer had no written instructions for the set-up procedure. The employer also did not have an Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) or any written safety or training information. The employer, a custom plastics injection molding company, operated a small manufacturing facility which contained 11 injection molding machines of varying sizes. The company had been in business for 4 years and 5 months at the time of the incident. The president had worked in the industry for a total of 27 years. The company had 13 employees with 9 working on site at the time of the incident. The decedent had been working for the company for 2 months as a supervisor. He had worked elsewhere in the industry for 17 years prior to his employment with this company. Company safety responsibilities were not defined and the company had no Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP). The decedent was trained on-the-job, but no documentation was available. The company did not have specific written procedures for the task being performed. The employer stated that the decedent was familiar with the type of machinery involved in this incident through experience and on-the-job training. He also stated that the decedent had performed the type of setup involved in this incident many times. The death certificate stated the cause of death to be a crush injury to the head. NO SHIT!

Are you the one that drew the short straw and had to trawl at other sites? Lol are you so lame to think that by ragging on this site that you'll instigate some website war? I don't understand your objective. Lmao |
