Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was performing housekeeping in a pit, 6 feet deep by 6 feet long by 3 feet wide, beneath a hydraulically operated scissor table. Employee #1 was picking up the plastic scraps from the bottom of the pit and placing the scraps on the outside of the pit for disposal. The table is equipped with blocks to lock the table in the up position while maintenance or housekeeping work is being performed, but Employee #1 was not using the blocks during this procedure. Management states that Employee #1 had not performed this procedure before, but had seen other employees clean the pit. Employee #1 was crushed and fatally asphyxiated when the scissor table descended on him.
