    The worst factory accident was the two workers were told to fix a bread oven at a factory in the UK. The oven was supposed to be cooled for 12 hours before anyone could enter as the men had to get on the conveyor belt and go through the machine, which only ran one way. However the machine had only been off for 2 hours and the temperature by the opening was around 38 - 40 degrees centigrade, hot but bearable. The two men climbed onto the conveyor and were basically fed into the narrow thick steel oven passage which gave them only very limited movement. After several minutes the men were screaming down their walkie-talkies that they were burning, but the people outside couldn't stop and reverse the machine so had to wait until the men came out the other side. One lived for a few minutes but died on the factory floor, the other had become trapped inside the oven and was recovered later. Though the temperature at the 1st opening had been around 40 C it was estimated that the temperature in the middle of the oven was 100 C and the men had been slowly fed into it and cooked alive.

I entered a cage to work on a large broaching machine that was feed by a Motoman robot! Under normal circumstances, opening the gate enclosure door would disable the robot by disengaging the safety interlock......well the key was broke so the key stayed in the door when I opened it and once I make a certain switch while in the cage, the F***** took off at full speed missing my head by inches!!!! To say the least, that little lesson and stuck with me for the rest of my career!!!!!

    Similar industrial accidents happen a lot more than many might think & usually through carelessness. Not always but often. A wood fiberboard plant that supplied our company had an employee who forgot to tag & lock the power switch of a very large wood pulveriser-shredder before making a repair. Something workers know to never ever forget to do. He entered the machine's housing compartment & while inside another employee flipped the power switch. Just like every morning at that time. Won't describe the scene but the mental & emotional trauma his death caused his fellow employees & friends was unspeakable. Even more so afterwards when they were deemed the only qualified people who could safely clear the machinery of his remains. Take the extra time to work safely.

      @@PiXie232 Yeah. The employee who flipped the switch was absolutely devastated. However, over time, hopefully they realized they did absolutely nothing wrong or negligent. I'm being considerate when I say the guy "forgot" to tag & lock the switch. He had come in to work early, ahead of the morning shift, & OSHA investigators concluded he had, for some reason, ignored carrying out several safety protocols. Thoughts why? Only speculation. He probably intended to get in, make a quick repair, & get out. And unfortunately lost track of time. I heard first-hand from the production manager that, thankfully, most the men who cleared the machinery volunteered. They wanted it done respectfully. Although it still traumatized them to do it, of course. My point in mentioning the story is to remind readers that poor judgement can destroy more people than just yourself. That's all.

      @@leahwhiteley5164 How awful. Many people don't consider or imagine what can go wrong until it happens. Esp if they forget or don't understand basic physics. This slip accident is something I wouldn't expect to happen either, jeez. Handling & misusing power equipment of any kind is a pretty big deal & unfortunately many people forget this. More so the longer they use it. A lot of manufacturing facilities smartly rotate employees who use dangerous equipment to keep them from zoning out & becoming complacent. Long hours of repetitive work can lead to accidents because employees simply become lost in thought. I remember a small woodworking company explaining the huge improved difference work station rotation made, after several employees lost fingers to hours of repetitive power saw use. Frequent rotation also allows employees to learn a variety of new work skills. And helpful when employees are absent because trained back-up is quickly available.

All day I was praying in my head not to let me die ( and Im not religious) 15 minutes of the work day left and a 60 lb iron crowbar came down off a scaffolding and went into my frontal lobe. My dad worked there as a chemist. He ran in to the warehouse picked me up and carried me to his pickup truck and went straight to the ER because he didn't want to wait for the ambulance.

    That's exactly why you're supposed to cut power completely before going into a danger zone of a machine to make a repair or adjustment. Every factory I've worked at has made it mandatory to make sure the power is off and the emergency power kill switch is engaged before you do anything to a machine. One of them even made you engage a lock on the machine so that literally no one could turn it on except the people that were working on it.

    I was on my houseboat relaxing on the front deck watching the Marina's maintenance crew replace cables that anchor all the boats in the Marina . The guys pulled up a cable with a big winch on their maintenance boat and tied it off to be able to remove the rigging and replace the cable. A few minutes into the process and the winch cable broke and a frayed tip whipped across the chest of one of the men ripping him wide open literally. And the cable they had lifted with winch snapped the ropes that tied it off the instant the winch cable snapped. And when it did that it flew off the front of their maintenance boat and taking another maintenance man overboard and forcing him to at least 242 feet under the water where the cable was when it returned to it's spot under tension. I seen it all and even though it happened in a split second it seemed like it happened in slow motion.

And one of the other guys jumped in to try to help him. They were both immediately pulled under. The auger's were working. As soon as it happened and the mangers found out about it. Everything in the factory was turned off and the emergency lights came on. The managers came out on the floor of every department and told everyone to please just quietly leave. I'm not to come back until it was announced on the local news and then the papers. And it would probably be at least several days. They spent the next 4 or 5 days I can't even remember. Trying to separate the human remains from the chicken remains because basically they both were just hamburger and bone fragments You know they didn't get them all.

There was a door that you opened and as long as the door stayed open the machine wouldn’t turn on. Long story short, my dad was the manager and he kept telling ownership there was a problem with the way they repaired the problems. Of course it fell on deaf ears. After my dad left that job, someone went into the machine to repair it and the door closed while he was inside. Let’s just say they were only able to bury legs in the casket.

    I've worked in factories and I've heard way worse. Listen way worse. A girl we worked with was on a pump sander and had her hair down. It grabbed her hair and jerked her face first into the sander. Yes it tore up her face and her it got a hold of her hair it didn't rip her hair out. No it just jerked her scalp up away from skull and within seconds her head started blowing up like a balloon. She didn't die but she didn't come back.

The company they made the parts for would sanction/fine her company for not meeting the required amount of parts they needed. So her company put lots of pressure on their employees to reach targets otherwise their pay would be reduced. Considering how undeveloped America is not having a national healthcare system this makes people do stupid things just so they won't lose money.

      @@cx2900 ok, that I couldn't know (not American). I do know we have different safety regulations and VERY strict governing bodies for workplace safety. Safety and safe work practices audits are carried out regularly with in-depth investigations for accidents. Even "near miss" incidents must be reported or risk heavy fines, incarceration and business closure. Here the usual requirement would be 2 people to stop the machine, usually one on the emergency stop button and the other on the key. Then one "guards" against anyone trying to restart the machine while maintenance is done. The idea of having to find the tens of thousands to pay the fine or the 5 years (a rough average) incarceration pays a big part in untrained people staying away from things they have no business paying with.
