The amount of
incidents involving both injuries and fatalities associated with machinery in
2015 has been simply staggering. The Aluminium Plant Safety Blog has posted
regularly incidents involving machinery and hazards including but not limited
to lockout tagout, confined space, rigging, machine guarding, electrical, etc. Here
is a recent story highlighting the continued importance of safety training
pertaining toward machinery.
Local police
have confirmed that the worker injured at aluminium packaging plant one day in
the Eastern United States during the week November 25, 2015 has died.
They say that worker
was transported 15 kilometers to a nearby hospital after he got caught in a
piece of machinery at the plant. He died shortly after at the hospital.
Local fire and emergency
crews responded to the industrial accident around 11:30 a.m. one morning at the
plant.
The cause of the
accident is still under investigation.
The Aluminium Plant Safety Blog offers our sincere condolences to the
deceased worker’s family, friends, and coworkers. The news media story for this
incident lacks details on what had occurred. We do know that a worker became
caught in a piece of machinery and succumbed to his injuries. If further
information is made available we will update this post.
