Employee killed when struck by rapidly falling tilt table

At approximately 9:20 p.m. on April 23, 1991, Employee #1 was doing cleanup work under a fully raised tilt table at a furnace in a molten metals operation. The control button for the hydraulic cylinder table was depressed to keep the table in a continuous up position.
