Investigation Summary
On April 9, 2007, Employee #1 was working for a firm that manufactured automotive stampings, operating a 1,000-ton Danly mechanical power press. The press was being fed from a flat coil of steel, running in a continuous mode to produce a bumper part for a Nissan Pathfinder. The press was guarded by light curtains. Employee #1 was watching the operation of the press and removing parts from the bin when it became full. Suddenly, a section of the press's die shattered, sending metal parts out of the die area. Employee #1 was approximately 6 feet away, when a piece of the shattered metal struck her in her neck. She sustained a laceration, and she was killed.
