Employee Dies When Pinned Against Wall

On April 17, 2005, Employee #1 was returning from break and having a conversation with some coworkers. She went inside a fenced-in area that contained an automatic sorting machine. She did not prevent the sorter's operation either with a key system or with lockout/tagout. The sorter started up while she was inside the area. It pinned her between the machine and the wall. She was killed. It is not clear whether she was killed at the time of the accident or died later on.
