During the morning hours, three location blocks, 2 in. by 3 in., were being used. Sometime around lunch the three blocks were placed on the corner of the die, stacked on top of each other. After lunch the blocks were overlooked. When the press was inched, the blocks were compressed, causing one of the blocks to shoot out and hit Employee #1 in the abdomen. He died.
