ON JUNE 7,1984, EMPLOYEE #1 WAS OPERATING A BLISS, FULL REVOLUTION, THREE TON MECHANICAL POWER PRESS. HE WAS PRESSING A 12 FOOT STRIP OF METAL, 2 7/8 INCHES WIDE, INTO THE DIE FROM THE RIGHT SIDE. THE LOWER DIE WAS FASTENED TO THE PRESS BED WITH A HEX HEAD BOLT IN THE DIRECT LINE OF THE SCRAP COMING OUT OF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DIE. ON THE START OF EACH STRIP THE OPERATOR HAD TO REACH IN, THROUGH THE GUARDING, TO RAISE THE SCRAP OVER THE BOLT, AFTER WHICH HE COULD KEEP IT RAISED FROM OUTSIDE THE GUARD. THE POINT OF OPERATION GUARD WAS NOT ADJUSTED IN A MANNER TO PREVENT THE OPERATOR'S HANDS FROM ENTERING THE DANGER ZONE.
