Investigation Summary
On April 10, 2016, an employee was working on the flywheel of a Wegner Perforating Press. To reach the flywheel, he was elevated on the forks of a Toyota forklift. To get there, he had climbed on an A-frame stepladder and then onto the forks of a forklift. The operator of the powered industrial truck lifted the employee approximately 8 feet, 5 inches in the air. From this position, he could remove spacers from the bearings in the center of the flywheel while it was mounted on the press. The employee removed the locking nut from the shaft of the flywheel to access the bearings. Once the locking nut was removed, the weight of the flywheel caused the flywheel to fall forward. It crushed the employee between the flywheel and the forks of the forklift. The employee was fatally injured.
