Abstract: At approximately 10:00 a.m. on September 2, 1999, Employee #1, of Shield Marine Products, was reaching for a hose on the shot end of die casting machine #6 when he became caught by the automatic ladle. He was dragged into the machine, where he was struck by 1,200 degree F. molten metal that splashed out of the ladle. Employee #1 suffered third-degree burns on his face, shoulder, neck, and chest. Subsequent investigation revealed that there was no barrier gate or shield installed at the shot end of the machine to prevent entry into the danger zone.
