Re: Worker Dies After Putting His Head Under Printing Press
I don't think it was an accident. I worked for a time at a printing company, granted our presses were big like newspaper printing presses, these are more like glorified copy machines. It almost looks like screen printing. Anyway, usually there are two buttons the operator needs to press, to ensure neither hand is in the press. You can see him set the paper in place then put his hands underneath, pressing the buttons, bringing the press down. I think the other guy didn't work there, rather he was just hanging out. He was probably thinking it would be funny, thinking that it couldn't hurt him, after all, how much pressure do you need to hold mere paper in place? FAFO... |

Re: Worker Dies After Putting His Head Under Printing Press
It is a single color press looks like. I too worked with much larger printers sheet and roll fed. These are low volume presses here. The clamp pressure though is in the tons most likely. Not sure how old the video is but today equipment you can't get your head into a press without breaking a proximity switch or photo eye. No guard on that one. The guillotine cutters we had were massive and used the 2 palm button switch. That just protects the operator. On big machines you have a helper also so thus the light curtain double safety.

Re: Worker Dies After Putting His Head Under Printing Press
I said the EXACT same thing when I saw the video. I mean, WORD for WORD. Well, except I said "was" instead of "is" as that last word. |
