Employee killed by falling press, another injured

At approximately 11:00 a.m. on September 27, Employees #1 and #2 and the shop owner removed the work table from a large hydraulic press. To remove the table, a chain was placed around a 12 in. by 14 in. wood beam in the ceiling. This was done to get enough lift to completely separate the two parts of the press. The bolt used to hold the ends of the chain pulled through a link and dropped the chain fall and the press stand. The stand crushed Employee #1's chest and deeply lacerated Employee #2's lower left leg. Employee #1 died.
