| Summary Nr: 59829.015 | Event: 03/31/2014 | Employee Caught Between Metal Door And Conveyor Is Killed | ||||
| At 10:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 30, 2014, a 48 year old male heat treat superviso r, had arrived at the facility to prepare the atmospheric heat treat furnaces fo r the next days' production. The employee was working alone at the time of the incident. At 12:00 A.M., an employee couldn't get into the facility because the door was locked. The production manager came to the facility to allow the emplo yee to enter. Once inside, the production manager found the employee lying on hi s back with his head and upper chest inside the quench tank chamber of the #21 A tmospheric Heat Treat Furnace AFE-6 Casemaster, with the outer metal door pressi ng against his chest.
