Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:30 p.m. on April 8, 1991, Employee #1 was preparing to cut off aluminum extrusion with a burn-off torch. As he leaned forward, facing the extrusion press, the puller unit returned unexpectedly and struck him on the back, forcing his body into the hot extruding press. Maintenance had unhooked the safety light curtain 2 days before the accident. Employee #1 sustained broken ribs, a punctured lung, internal injuries, and 3rd-degree burns on the right hand. He was unconscious and had stopped breathing after the accident; CPR revived him. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
