Description:On February 7, 1998, a 29-year-old machine operator at a cardboard box factory was killed when he was crushed by a die cutting machine. The incident occurred when the victim noticed that the machine was not cutting the cardboard correctly. Climbing under the machine, the victim found a loose gear and apparently pressed a control button to jog the machine forward. His head was caught between the large moving die cutting table and a stationary machine part. NJ FACE investigators concluded that, to prevent similar incidents in the future, these safety guidelines should be followed: 1. Employers should develop, implement, and enforce an effective lock-out/tag-out program. 2. Employees should be trained to safely operate and maintain machinery. 3. Employers should conduct a job hazard analysis of all work activities with the participation of the workers. 4. Employers should be aware of educational and training resources for health and safety information.
