I ALWAYS had that E-stop in my mind any time I was working with machines that could end me. Always made sure I was literally 1 to 2 feet away from the E-stop red pull cable fixed across the side.

I wouldn't EVER want to work with these people again if I just saw them fail in backing me up when it really counts.
I worked in an office above an injection molding warehouse in Spain. Whenever someone went inside, they'd switch the machine off and put their padlock there on the switch so it couldn't be switched on again. If another engineer went in , they'd put their padlock there as well. Pretty good system. The amount of noise in these places mean your shouts and cries will not be heard. You gotta look after yourself.
The system you're describing is called LOTO (Lock Out Tag Out). The hasp acts as a physical barrier to keep the machine from starting, and everyone working on the machine puts their lock in the hasp. Each worker's lock has a different key, so they can only remove their own lock, not another worker's. Normally (in the US) the worker will also attach his or her tag to the lock. The tag has a face photo of the worker, and room for them to describe why the machine is offline. The reason for the photo is that if a supervisor or operator comes by, they know who took the machine offline and can find that person if they need a status update or other information. There's a saying that every safety sign is written in someone else's blood.
At Honda same thing. It was called lock out tag out. Could have 6 padlocks on some of the lock out mechanisms. All locks had to be removed by each person before machine would operate.

For people who do not understand what is going on ..... the injection molder, inside the room, has a mold which is divided into two parts which spreads apart and closes back together. It opens to allow the plastic parts to be extracted after the plastic is forced into the mold cavity or cavities to make the parts.

No way the doors should close by themselves once opened , No machine manufacturer would ever program the system to work like that , Either the door safety interlocks are not working , have been bypassed or the reset operation switch has been " modified". Also the dude that was trying to help the guy in the system should really be trained where the Emergency stop button is located and what it does, Good thing that the Lady ran over to hit the E-stop.
He was supposed to bump the door on his way in. That tells it to not autocycle. There is also an emergency stop inside the machine next to the door. Some folks don't pay attention during 5-minute safety briefings.
@@rnickel123 Any machine that a person can enter, is required to have a button inside for the operator to press to let the machine know that the molding area is clear. Then you have to press and hold a button on the outside, until the mold begins to close, to initiate the next cycle. In semi-automatic, no machine can automatically begin the next cycle without the operator purposefully beginning the next cycle. OSHA would have a field day with this one.
@KevinConlon69 You are right. When the part is stuck in the mold, there should have been an automatic stop using a light beam interrupt or PIR. It should not be the operator that makes the machine safe; it should be intrinsically safe from the operator's perspective.
Bro, I work in a place with this exact type of machine. The fact that the employee didn't know to hit the big red button that says EMERGENCY STOP is baffling to me. Common sense seriously escapes people. It's astounding!
Probably worn off. Cause I bet that if this happened once it happened dozen of times. Not only should the supervisor on up be fired but should be sent to leadership and safety courses.
This video screams poor working environment bad training and complete disregard for safety. The first thing a new operator should learn is all of the safety hazards all of the protections and the location of each E-stop. The "experienced" operator clearly had disregard for his own safety.
What an irrelevant and idiotic thing to say. Nothing can compare to the idiocy and bad faith demonstrated by the woefully under and mis-informed meatheads runnong the Republican Party these days. Half of them are outright traitors and most of the rest are complicit due to not calling out such despicable behavior. When are they going to show some intelligence and ditch that ignorant, traitorous loser Trump. You embarrass yourselves and the entire country by allowing that utter nonsense to continue.
I used to work in an injection molding plant, but none of our machines was as big as this one. It's terrifying to think just how close this poor guy came to having that mold slam shut on him.
I worked in a plastics plant where there were injection molding machines. We didn't have anything like that there. But you had to respect the machines. We had one guy mash his fingers in a hand press and had to go to the ER. To this day none of us can figure out how he did it because normally that would be impossible. I even tried (at slow speed) to recreate his movements and concluded that there was no way he could have even accidentally put his fingers into the press where he did. Because it took two hands to operate the thing. You placed the part to be stamped into the press with your left hand and pulled the lever down to compress it with your right. Even at speed there is no way he could have put the fingers of his left hand into the press far enough to damage them. Besides, the speed and force of the lever were entirely under the operator's control. His excuse was that he had "fallen asleep". I still don't buy it; I'm thinking workman's comp claim.
Ive worked in one much bigger molds, size of 2 suvs i still remember where all the estops were, thankfully we worked in teams and somtimes we had to be inside of the press, to check each function of the molds make sure they didnt get sticky, most dangerous part of the job
@Gunners_Mate_Guns i actually left over a different saftey concern everything leaked and they didnt let us track them down until entire lines blew, fires were a daily occurrence
This is very common with lots of automated machinery and why they have numerous protections and SOPs. This is an example of poor training as the two men obviously are new and did not know what to do. The operator was also either poorly trained and had poor safety as he should have activated the E-stop before going into the machine in the first place. Also the first thing he should have done is explain each safety hazard and when and how to activate the e-stop and other safety measures. Based upon this clip I would say that this company has a poor training policy and poor safety mentality.
I mean, those two idiots standing around never did. In from across the room came the one person with at least the basic knowledge of industrial equipment.
Forget the instruction manual! Forget the safety meetings! I haven't even left school and I won't be operating machinery anyways, but even I know "press big red button to bad stop make"!
Trust when they say these operators are hired off the streets they aren't kidding. But yes they should always now where the emergency stop button is at
At the plastics plant where I used to work, they now have a group of people from another country who do not speak English but another language that isn't commonly spoken here. Apparently only one of them speaks both so that person is the official interpreter. It recently came to light that none of them can really read English. They are in quality control, not on any of the machines, Thank God. But yes, that is what is being hired these days.
Not sure how 3 people missed hitting the E-stop... Guessing they were temps or new guys that were not trained properly.... Two E-stop stories: - Speaking of temps, back in the late 2000s, we had a 19 year old temp that just started. His job was to inspect boards & mark bad ones with a sharpie near a lateral transfer (a table that moves up, shifts left, then drops down and back again to shift things to the left to change direction between two conveyor belts). He dropped his marker inside of the transfer, and after all the boards had cycled out and it stopped, he crawled under there to grab it -- keep in mind the machine was running in AUTO. What he didn't know was that after ~30 seconds, the PLC was programmed to automatically cycle again to prevent any boards from sitting on the transfer at the end of a run... And when it did, it clipped his head, and he stopped being alive. Always hit the E-Stop if something dangerous is happening -- especially if you're new -- the E-stop safety circuit on most machines disengages the motors, air, and hydraulics systems and typically puts them into a reasonably safe state. Better to get yelled at than to die. - I nearly lost two of my fingers in an overwrap machine (wraps shrink film around foam trays used for chicken, etc.) while cleaning it, but thankfully had enough state of mind to hit the E-stop within reach, although my hand had already run through a set of stainless steel rollers and totally obliterated the ends of two of my fingers, but thankfully before the trimmer blade. lol. (part of the PM procedure was to have the machine running slowly to check the infeed belts, but it was the end of a ~14 hour shift and I wasn't paying attention, and it was running faster than it should...)
E stop story: finger in giant metal mousetrap that makes chocolate covered marshmallow candy. Finger chugs down the line, covered in delicious chocolate. I recover finger before it's wrapped for sale. The reason this is an E stop story is because No One Hit The E Stop.
dude big red button. I worked in a license plate factory with heavy machinery for less than a year and that's the first thing I learned and will never forget
You could never convince me to step into a machine that's powered up I don't care what you tell me I'm not doing it. I can see the button from here once the panel turns after receiving a running high five.
I'm an industrial automation engineer, I make machines like this. There's so many things wrong with this it's hard to even articulate it or know where to start.
Seeing the label ‘sterling’ on the equipment I did some searching and I’m fairly certain this is either a single or dual accumulator head blow molding machine which is used for manufacturing various plastic containers and parts what is frightening based on the specs of various models is that the clamping force can be well over 100 tons 👀 he was seconds away from being a screen protector for his phone
yup you are correct, that is a blow molding machine, that rail coming out of the top of the machine doors that had the thing moving along it is how the part is ejected. No idea why that guy felt the need to go in those doors, the finished part comes out gripped in the thing sliding out from over the door and the machine needs no human interaction until that part needs to be cut down from there which can happen far away from the tooling as you can see there. There isn't really inserts used in blow molding. The only thing I can really think of is maybe that ejector didn't grab the part or something along those lines and it got stuck in the mold. I'm surprised he didn't get injured because when those doors closed there is usually a hot plastic tube getting extruded into that area right before two steel mold halves close on it, and then high pressure air is blown through. It's certainly a dangerous machine to be walking into without LOTO. A machine that size is probably making something along the lines of a gasoline can, or one of those plastic lawn ornaments. Some hollow plastic thing around that size.
I worked a short time as an apprentice in the repair workshop of a company that made quite a lot of plastic components along with other stuff. They had 12 or 13 machines similar to that one but in varying sizes. I mainly had to repair, service, or modify the molds. Some of them were huge! I was amazed that there hadn't been any incidents like the one in the video, but unlike them, the employees of the company I was at had training and knew what they were doing. The worst thing that ever happened during my time there was one of the machines catching on fire due to some special highly flammable plastic being used. It could've been really bad, but thankfully one of the operators managed to put out the fire before it spread to other machines/the building. You got respect for those machines very fast, trust me on that!
The door should never shut automatically. When it closes it allows the tool to close. When the man outside opens the doors a little the tool stops closing (cut-out works) but he then sets it away again manually when he messes with the control panel! Whats the robot doing?
If you think, FOR ONE SECOND, that those guys are at fault for not being properly trained or experienced enough to work that machinery - you’re wrong. The *_ONLY_* way that there are *_THREE_* different men working together & *_NONE_* are comfortable & confident with the safety / emergency protocol is if there is an issue in training, supervision & MANAGEMENT; quite possibly the lady you all think “saved the day”. She may be the *_arsonist_* AND the *_firefighter😅_* #OSHAfieldday
This is what happens when someone is there just to collect a paycheck and go thru the motions and has no idea what to do in case of emergency even though I'm sure he had training what to do in situation like this. If I was the manager responsible for this employee who had no idea what to do I would of pulled him off the line and question him find out exactly what he knows and retrain him accordingly.
That button saved my coworker once. He nearly got decapitated by a robot. I just smashed the whole console with my open hand, breaking the plastic. There was just no time to look where to press exactly
And one guy protecting his forehead with his safety glasses. Overhead machinery and no hardhats. Yep. How many days has that unit worked without a lost time accident?
I've worked on machines that were set to semi-automatic operation which this one should have been for part removal. As others have said, their is a dangerous work atmosphere here. If you want to have an emphasis on productivity, just throw up a color coded screen where you have red, yellow, and green to show awful, decent, and good cycle timing. It is what I referenced (when I could see the screen) when I was work on a semi-automatic operation to see how I was doing during my shift on this operation.
The big red E-stop is the FIRST thing I tell ANYONE who is coming on the floor with me, first time or not. I would like to think this is a stark example of hiring temp workers and only having them around for grunt work.
HEY! Remember that *_required_* safety video we all watched?!? Yeah, that one where the NPCs all pointed at the dude dying? YES! That one! (Mission: OSHA Unlocked)
A similar incident happened in Tennessee, only the operator was caught in the dies and was killed when the machined cycled and covered him in hot liquid plastic.
I remember when I worked at a plastic molding company. One day I had to go with my wife to have an ultrasound. I came back to work after the appointment and the news media and fire department was surrounding the place at a safe distance. I saw the massive fire engulfing my work. I asked what had happened. They said the oven next to the one I worked at had caught fire and burnt down the place. I couldn't believe my work caught fire, I was without a job and we were having a baby all in the same time frame. Luckily nobody was injured but this video brings me back to that day.
Those guys look extremely Young,. We had a 16 yearold get killed in a chicken processing plant. No one knows how a 16 year old was able to get the job in the first place. He was an migrant worker. Their body language says they have never been in that environment before
It looks like this machine is set up to run in auto where the robot grabs the 'carpet' of balls and takes them out sideways (operators side) and 'drops' them on the table. Given the low headroom I presume the part has to come out sideways. Perhaps the machine is in auto mode and the robot does normally pick up the part but this time it did not and the operator (foolishly) decided to go in and get it and forgot to lock the door open. Not a faulty machine just an operator with no common sense.
I see everyone talking about the e-stop, But the most important step before entering the machine is lockout tagout! been doing plastics for several years now and we are terminated if caught in a machine without it locked out.
First thing you ever show a machine operator - the big red Emergency Stop button.

It’s not as if anyone running the machine longer is a smarter person, and certainly doesn’t mean they are more educated. they just have more experience on the machine. They weren’t trained properly, or were and disregarded it.
@@leonskum.5682 There was no need to even mention anyone's sex. It has nothing to do with anything, and was a stupid comment.
@@jacobcar442 Do you have autism or something? The woman saved that guy's life. The three guys in that footage didn't know what to do at all.
But i bet you were fishing for a "why not a white lady saved three black guys" comment.
No way the doors should close by themselves once opened , No machine manufacturer would ever program the system to work like that , Either the door safety interlocks are not working , have been bypassed or the reset operation switch has been " modified". Also the dude that was trying to help the guy in the system should really be trained where the Emergency stop button is located and what it does, Good thing that the Lady ran over to hit the E-stop.
agreed
He was supposed to bump the door on his way in. That tells it to not autocycle.
There is also an emergency stop inside the machine next to the door.
Some folks don't pay attention during 5-minute safety briefings.
@@rnickel123 Any machine that a person can enter, is required to have a button inside for the operator to press to let the machine know that the molding area is clear. Then you have to press and hold a button on the outside, until the mold begins to close, to initiate the next cycle.
In semi-automatic, no machine can automatically begin the next cycle without the operator purposefully beginning the next cycle.
OSHA would have a field day with this one.
@@rnickel123 they are not trained
@KevinConlon69 You are right.
When the part is stuck in the mold, there should have been an automatic stop using a light beam interrupt or PIR. It should not be the operator that makes the machine safe; it should be intrinsically safe from the operator's perspective.
Bro, I work in a place with this exact type of machine. The fact that the employee didn't know to hit the big red button that says EMERGENCY STOP is baffling to me. Common sense seriously escapes people. It's astounding!
Probably worn off. Cause I bet that if this happened once it happened dozen of times. Not only should the supervisor on up be fired but should be sent to leadership and safety courses.
This video screams poor working environment bad training and complete disregard for safety. The first thing a new operator should learn is all of the safety hazards all of the protections and the location of each E-stop. The "experienced" operator clearly had disregard for his own safety.
Bravo to the lady who knows what the FK she's doing. She needs a damn raise for saving that companies ass
@alexadao8852 🤣
Productivity must be incredible with staff that don't even understand 'big red button make bad stop'.
Jamaal bowman would have set off the fire alarm a dozen times before figuring out what button to push.
What an irrelevant and idiotic thing to say. Nothing can compare to the idiocy and bad faith demonstrated by the woefully under and mis-informed meatheads runnong the Republican Party these days. Half of them are outright traitors and most of the rest are complicit due to not calling out such despicable behavior. When are they going to show some intelligence and ditch that ignorant, traitorous loser Trump. You embarrass yourselves and the entire country by allowing that utter nonsense to continue.
Thank God that woman was there! Time for some re-training...
@alexadao8852 And some albinos? Obsessed much, micro-peen...? 🤏😂
I used to work in an injection molding plant, but none of our machines was as big as this one.
It's terrifying to think just how close this poor guy came to having that mold slam shut on him.
This is not an injection . this is a blow molding machine .
I worked in a plastics plant where there were injection molding machines. We didn't have anything like that there. But you had to respect the machines. We had one guy mash his fingers in a hand press and had to go to the ER. To this day none of us can figure out how he did it because normally that would be impossible. I even tried (at slow speed) to recreate his movements and concluded that there was no way he could have even accidentally put his fingers into the press where he did. Because it took two hands to operate the thing. You placed the part to be stamped into the press with your left hand and pulled the lever down to compress it with your right. Even at speed there is no way he could have put the fingers of his left hand into the press far enough to damage them. Besides, the speed and force of the lever were entirely under the operator's control. His excuse was that he had "fallen asleep". I still don't buy it; I'm thinking workman's comp claim.
Ive worked in one much bigger molds, size of 2 suvs i still remember where all the estops were, thankfully we worked in teams and somtimes we had to be inside of the press, to check each function of the molds make sure they didnt get sticky, most dangerous part of the job
@@emer07jiffy No wonder you don't do that work any longer!
Really glad that you didn't have something terrible happen.
@Gunners_Mate_Guns i actually left over a different saftey concern everything leaked and they didnt let us track them down until entire lines blew, fires were a daily occurrence
When you lie on your resume about having experience.
Three people didn't know where the emergency stop button was. One person did. Thank God three out of four was still lucky.
No way the doors should close by themselves once opened!
Never ever!
it is a machine it automated not going to stop. Never assume the door will stay open.
This is very common with lots of automated machinery and why they have numerous protections and SOPs. This is an example of poor training as the two men obviously are new and did not know what to do. The operator was also either poorly trained and had poor safety as he should have activated the E-stop before going into the machine in the first place. Also the first thing he should have done is explain each safety hazard and when and how to activate the e-stop and other safety measures.
Based upon this clip I would say that this company has a poor training policy and poor safety mentality.
Sad that it took them so long to find the emurgency button
I mean, those two idiots standing around never did. In from across the room came the one person with at least the basic knowledge of industrial equipment.
Good thing this wasn't a radiation filled chamber like in Elysium. Otherwise, my man would have to have an exoskeleton installed.
I TOOK A DOSE MAN A FULL FUCKING DOSE
I was thinking the same thing 😁
I only saw that movie once, years ago, and yet still it came to mind immediately!
Everything turns into a scene with this types of employees.
Everytime...
Without fail
"You FOOL! Why didn't you press the big red emergency button?"
"Umm...isn't that the self-destruct system?"
It is clear, which person was the only one, who read the instruction manual
Right
Forget the instruction manual! Forget the safety meetings!
I haven't even left school and I won't be operating machinery anyways, but even I know "press big red button to bad stop make"!
i would not be surprised if those employees do not speak or read the language that said stop.
can't read their own language. but they are living the american dream.
Trust when they say these operators are hired off the streets they aren't kidding. But yes they should always now where the emergency stop button is at
At the plastics plant where I used to work, they now have a group of people from another country who do not speak English but another language that isn't commonly spoken here. Apparently only one of them speaks both so that person is the official interpreter. It recently came to light that none of them can really read English. They are in quality control, not on any of the machines, Thank God. But yes, that is what is being hired these days.
The number of issues with safety, machine controls, and operator training are numerous. Glad he made it out OK.
Lot of people wearing in-ear headphones in that place. That in itself should be some kind of safety violation.
it actually is in just about all manufacturing places (U.S.) for this exact reason
Gah dang, the 3 guys fumbling with the switches and the woman only had to hit one button to save the day. smh...
Yes, it took one thoughtful, aware woman to do what three men couldn't think to do. Tell me again who rules the world??
She was the only one who paid attention in shop class!
Big red button. 🔴
How can there be anyone near that machine without knowing the most important safety device?
Even to the casual observer, the problem was obvious.
DEI
Love the quick action of the employee who knows exactly what to do in an emergency situation.
Homeboy almost got the Han Solo Carbonite treatment lol.
Not sure how 3 people missed hitting the E-stop... Guessing they were temps or new guys that were not trained properly.... Two E-stop stories:
- Speaking of temps, back in the late 2000s, we had a 19 year old temp that just started. His job was to inspect boards & mark bad ones with a sharpie near a lateral transfer (a table that moves up, shifts left, then drops down and back again to shift things to the left to change direction between two conveyor belts). He dropped his marker inside of the transfer, and after all the boards had cycled out and it stopped, he crawled under there to grab it -- keep in mind the machine was running in AUTO. What he didn't know was that after ~30 seconds, the PLC was programmed to automatically cycle again to prevent any boards from sitting on the transfer at the end of a run... And when it did, it clipped his head, and he stopped being alive. Always hit the E-Stop if something dangerous is happening -- especially if you're new -- the E-stop safety circuit on most machines disengages the motors, air, and hydraulics systems and typically puts them into a reasonably safe state. Better to get yelled at than to die.
- I nearly lost two of my fingers in an overwrap machine (wraps shrink film around foam trays used for chicken, etc.) while cleaning it, but thankfully had enough state of mind to hit the E-stop within reach, although my hand had already run through a set of stainless steel rollers and totally obliterated the ends of two of my fingers, but thankfully before the trimmer blade. lol. (part of the PM procedure was to have the machine running slowly to check the infeed belts, but it was the end of a ~14 hour shift and I wasn't paying attention, and it was running faster than it should...)
E stop story: finger in giant metal mousetrap that makes chocolate covered marshmallow candy. Finger chugs down the line, covered in delicious chocolate. I recover finger before it's wrapped for sale. The reason this is an E stop story is because No One Hit The E Stop.
"Finger chugs down the line covered in delicious chocolate" my god 😭😭😭😂
dude big red button. I worked in a license plate factory with heavy machinery for less than a year and that's the first thing I learned and will never forget
You could never convince me to step into a machine that's powered up I don't care what you tell me I'm not doing it. I can see the button from here once the panel turns after receiving a running high five.
That is so scary. I thought that the press was going to close in on him. Glad nothing happened.
I'm an industrial automation engineer, I make machines like this. There's so many things wrong with this it's hard to even articulate it or know where to start.
I was sure he was going to come out encased in carbonite 😂
How to be famous-101
Time for a safety meeting.
Some very skilled workers right there!! How many people went to the control panel before that lady ran over and hit the stop button? Smdh
Wow...its a good thing all the employees were paying attention during the safety training on that machine......LOL!!!!!!!!!
Seeing the label ‘sterling’ on the equipment I did some searching and I’m fairly certain this is either a single or dual accumulator head blow molding machine which is used for manufacturing various plastic containers and parts what is frightening based on the specs of various models is that the clamping force can be well over 100 tons 👀 he was seconds away from being a screen protector for his phone
yup you are correct, that is a blow molding machine, that rail coming out of the top of the machine doors that had the thing moving along it is how the part is ejected. No idea why that guy felt the need to go in those doors, the finished part comes out gripped in the thing sliding out from over the door and the machine needs no human interaction until that part needs to be cut down from there which can happen far away from the tooling as you can see there. There isn't really inserts used in blow molding. The only thing I can really think of is maybe that ejector didn't grab the part or something along those lines and it got stuck in the mold. I'm surprised he didn't get injured because when those doors closed there is usually a hot plastic tube getting extruded into that area right before two steel mold halves close on it, and then high pressure air is blown through. It's certainly a dangerous machine to be walking into without LOTO.
A machine that size is probably making something along the lines of a gasoline can, or one of those plastic lawn ornaments. Some hollow plastic thing around that size.
When the door was closed, I did not notice any trace of safety training in the worker's attempt to force the door open.
It's so tough finding the big red emergency stop button. Took a woman to get that one done.
White bailing out black yet again
I used to set these machines up many years ago, and it was common sense not to stand between the die blocks whilst the machine was in production.
Thats the difference between knowledgeable and experienced workers and equity hires!! Well done to the woman who obviously knew what to do!!
And then afterwards nobody even seems to be listening to her..
Probably called her Karen.@@JanusChan
The woman was the only one who paid attention to the training.
I like how he went back in right after getting out
I worked a short time as an apprentice in the repair workshop of a company that made quite a lot of plastic components along with other stuff. They had 12 or 13 machines similar to that one but in varying sizes. I mainly had to repair, service, or modify the molds. Some of them were huge! I was amazed that there hadn't been any incidents like the one in the video, but unlike them, the employees of the company I was at had training and knew what they were doing. The worst thing that ever happened during my time there was one of the machines catching on fire due to some special highly flammable plastic being used. It could've been really bad, but thankfully one of the operators managed to put out the fire before it spread to other machines/the building. You got respect for those machines very fast, trust me on that!
I worked at a gas station once.
I wasn't going anywhere with that, since everyone else had to say where they worked, I wanted to as well :)
😂😂😂
got any cool stories? can you say where?
That's why you lock out, tag out before you go in. When in doubt lock it out!
E-STOP!!!!! Always the big red button. Don't even need training for that one.
The door should never shut automatically. When it closes it allows the tool to close. When the man outside opens the doors a little the tool stops closing (cut-out works) but he then sets it away again manually when he messes with the control panel! Whats the robot doing?
If you think, FOR ONE SECOND, that those guys are at fault for not being properly trained or experienced enough to work that machinery - you’re wrong. The *_ONLY_* way that there are *_THREE_* different men working together & *_NONE_* are comfortable & confident with the safety / emergency protocol is if there is an issue in training, supervision & MANAGEMENT; quite possibly the lady you all think “saved the day”. She may be the *_arsonist_* AND the *_firefighter😅_* #OSHAfieldday
Nailed it!💯
Boom goes the 🧨
All facts🔥
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Exactly what I was thinking the whole time. This is on LEADERSHIP!
I would pay to hear the conversation among that crew afterwards.
That woman took all 4 of those men's Man Card by immediately pressing the ONE BUTTON that mattered the most.
This is what happens when someone is there just to collect a paycheck and go thru the motions and has no idea what to do in case of emergency even though I'm sure he had training what to do in situation like this.
If I was the manager responsible for this employee who had no idea what to do I would of pulled him off the line and question him find out exactly what he knows and retrain him accordingly.
That's a Sterling blow-mold machine. I used to program, mold change, and do maintenance on them for years. They were my favorite machine to work on.
How come it closes by itself when someone is there ??
Half these companies hire whoever will put up with their low wages and barely train them. No surprise here.
That button saved my coworker once.
He nearly got decapitated by a robot.
I just smashed the whole console with my open hand, breaking the plastic.
There was just no time to look where to press exactly
The fact that a mold you can walk into doesn't have a light curtain that shuts down the machine if someone walks in there is crazy!
That woman is a Super Hero!
I want her on my team.
And one guy protecting his forehead with his safety glasses. Overhead machinery and no hardhats. Yep. How many days has that unit worked without a lost time accident?
Both of those guys standing outside of the machine need to be let go immediately.
THis employer should be sued and never allowed to run a business of any kind.
Why was it only the white worker knew what to do?
Everyone already knows
LOL, all those guys trying to open the door and the 1 woman runs over and presses the "open door" button on the panel!!!
A person has to be able to read that the open door button says open door. You get what you payed for with some of these guys.
1. Are there IR beams to shut the machine down when beams are broken?
2. E stop button
3. Lock Out Tag Out
How did these fools miss the emergency stop button??! Lucky that woman was there, she’s the only one who didn’t panic and start doing dumb stuff
dissmiss leader who dont tell a new worker what STOP button mean
I've worked on machines that were set to semi-automatic operation which this one should have been for part removal. As others have said, their is a dangerous work atmosphere here. If you want to have an emphasis on productivity, just throw up a color coded screen where you have red, yellow, and green to show awful, decent, and good cycle timing. It is what I referenced (when I could see the screen) when I was work on a semi-automatic operation to see how I was doing during my shift on this operation.
The big red E-stop is the FIRST thing I tell ANYONE who is coming on the floor with me, first time or not.
I would like to think this is a stark example of hiring temp workers and only having them around for grunt work.
"You're fired, and you're fired, and you're fired, and so are you."
First thing I teach my guys when I'm training them is where the E-stop is. First thing. Every time.
HEY! Remember that *_required_* safety video we all watched?!?
Yeah, that one where the NPCs all pointed at the dude dying?
YES! That one!
(Mission: OSHA Unlocked)
Huh, that's allot of people fucking around before someone hits the emergency stop. One of few real-life skills I learned in high school.
Fire that worker who doesnt know what an emergency stop is
A similar incident happened in Tennessee, only the operator was caught in the dies and was killed when the machined cycled and covered him in hot liquid plastic.
This guy was like, let me just take my time trying to figure this machine system out 😅
I remember when I worked at a plastic molding company. One day I had to go with my wife to have an ultrasound. I came back to work after the appointment and the news media and fire department was surrounding the place at a safe distance. I saw the massive fire engulfing my work. I asked what had happened. They said the oven next to the one I worked at had caught fire and burnt down the place. I couldn't believe my work caught fire, I was without a job and we were having a baby all in the same time frame. Luckily nobody was injured but this video brings me back to that day.
Good to see that at least one person was awake during the safety briefing...
Elysium IRL
A mulher foi decisiva para evitar algo pior. Falta de preparo do operador de equipamentos, pode ser fatal.
Those guys look extremely Young,. We had a 16 yearold get killed in a chicken processing plant. No one knows how a 16 year old was able to get the job in the first place. He was an migrant worker. Their body language says they have never been in that environment before
incredibly that this man are even allowed to work there.
my entire torso area looks like a childs booster seat after one of these mishaps
It looks like this machine is set up to run in auto where the robot grabs the 'carpet' of balls and takes them out sideways (operators side) and 'drops' them on the table. Given the low headroom I presume the part has to come out sideways. Perhaps the machine is in auto mode and the robot does normally pick up the part but this time it did not and the operator (foolishly) decided to go in and get it and forgot to lock the door open. Not a faulty machine just an operator with no common sense.
I see everyone talking about the e-stop, But the most important step before entering the machine is lockout tagout! been doing plastics for several years now and we are terminated if caught in a machine without it locked out.
How do you not know about the E-stop? This is unreal.
