Abstract: At 8:00 p.m. on March 1, 2019, Employee #1 was operating the Automatic Die Cutting Machine ExcelC-106E, Serial Number 1470008, printing special orders.

A coworker became aware of noises coming from the machine, indicating a jam. The coworker walked toward the machine and saw that Employee #1 had become stuck in the machine. The coworker called emergency services, and paramedics responded quickly. Employee #1 sustained head injuries caused by the moving bars and was killed.
