Abstract: Employee #1 was apparently attempting to crawl feet-first out of a bin through a hydraulic gate. His body contacted the electronic eye, bringing down the gate, which fractured his neck and killed him. According to management, the gate's hydraulic valve was in the open position after being shut off earlier that day. The employer had no lockout procedures or equipment. The equipment had been installed in May 1990.
