THE EMPLOYEES ENCOUNTERED AN OBSTRUCTION DURING THE LIFTING PROCESS, SO AN ENGINEER (EMPLOYEE #1) POSITIONED HIMSELF TO MEASURE THE OBSTRUCTION. THE SUPPORT ( LIFTING) SYSTEM FAILED AND THE BREAST ROLL ASSEMBLY FELL, PINNING EMPLOYEE #1 BETWEEN THE PAPER MACHINE AND THE ASSEMBLY. HE WAS CRUSHED TO DEATH. THE BREAST ROLL SHOULD HAVE BEEN BLOCKED UP BEFORE THE EMPLOYEE WAS ALLOWED INTO THE HAZARDOUS AREA.
