Abstract: At 6:30 a.m. on May 20, 2016, an employee was attempting to cut foam that had expanded out of the mold because they prematurely opened the mold. The foam started to expand and the doors to the machine were not able to be closed. The employee was electrocuted after contacting energized connections on the paddle of the hot wire cutter. The wooden hand paddle of the hot wire cutter had exposed energized connections that the employee contacted. The employee then fell to a lower level outside of the block mold machine.
