"trapped under the press machine ...."

The hazards associated with extrusion presses are known throughout our industry. Yet, incidents involving injuries and fatalities still occur. Here is a recent incident highlighting the dangers of operating extrusions press.

According to the information obtained, (the worker) was trapped under the press machine in the incident that occurred during production. Upon the notification of his colleagues who noticed the situation, health, gendarmerie and fire brigade teams were dispatched to the factory. It was determined that the worker, who was pulled out from under the machine with the intense work of the teams, died at the scene.

The unfortunate worker was legally (entered the country) two months ago to work (city name omitted).

After the incident, the Public Prosecutor examined the factory and started the judicial process, while the gendarmerie teams took security measures in the area where the work accident occurred. While the occupational safety records at the factory were examined, (the worker’s) body was taken to the hospital morgue for autopsy.

We offer our sincere condolences and prayers to the deceased worker’s family, friends and coworkers. The news media articles provide minimal information. The news media states that the press was in production and the worker was underneath when the incident occured.

We will reach out to our contacts in this country to inquire about this tragedy. We will update this information when further information comes forth.

Please comment.
