Investigation Summary
At 1:45 p.m. on May 252, 2012, Employee #1 was working in one area of the manufacturing floor when the unmanned TM10 Lathe stationed in another area began making an unusual noise. Employee #1 went to shut the lathe down and the moving part broke free from the chock. It smashed through the viewing window and a 6.5 inch long shard of Plexiglass-like material from the window struck and cut Employee #1's neck. Employee #1 died as a result from his wound.
