Investigation Summary
On June 7, 2010 Employee #1 was operating an automated laser cutter within the production area. The front guard was raised and Employee #1 was making adjustments inside the point or operation area. Employee #1 became caught in a pinch point when the structure that holds the laser cutter moved to the right front area near the metal structure of the machine. Employee #1's head became caught in the limited space between the metal structures, approximately three inches wide. Another coworker heard a noise and found Employee #1 in the machine. The injury was immediately fatal.
