On or about June 14, 2016, employees at Boyd Mechanical Toggle Press 3 (No. 1030) were exposed to crush-by and burn hazards when they reached into the die opening and "scratched" the plates to remove green brick debris and lubricate the surfaces (top die, bottom die, and die cavity) and the employer did not develop and document specific procedures to control hazardous mechanical, electrical, thermal, and pneumatic energy.
