Dang spy, I'm glad you made it out alive. This will give me more time to yank your chain on the football threads. Seriously, glad your injuries aren't worse, cause they could have been. That's one of those times you start counting limbs, fingers and toes hoping you didn't lose any. Hopefully, workmans comp won't screw you over.

Either lock out/tag out or tell the new guy that he doesn't touch a frigging button unless he is told. Glad it wasn't worse.

Glad you are alright. Busted ribs are no fun. Had the front right tire of a military police humvee center my chest about 15 years ago. Busted all my ribs, crushed sternum, air in my lungs pushed out into bubble wrap like pockets under the skin. DRT. Medic got me going again, told me later each chest compression felt like broken glass. Takes a while to get over it.

The way I read it, he was training some new folks on the machinery, no need to LOTO as they were using it, I may be wrong either way I'm glad it wasn't worse than what it was!!

thanks for the support guys. we were making some last min changes on the machine and with what we have to change out you cant lock it out while you are doing some of the work. you can bet i learned a lesson from this and will not be so careless around new workers. Bull crap. Again, I am glad that you are here to tell this story, and I don't intend for this to come off like I am talking down to you, but that is no excuse for you or others getting hurt. I don't know what you were doing, but they make lockable switches. If that won't work something else can be incorporated that is lockable, or otherwise protects you from being crushed. Sure it takes time to apply and remove locks, but as you know people will push buttons they are not supposed to, and I am not willing to risk my life, or that of others due to this. Your employer has an obligation to protect you from known or reasonably assumed hazards, and what you were working on is one of them as demonstrated by your accident this morning. If I come across as being harsh here so be it. I can sleep with that a lot better than by not saying anything and hearing of someone else getting hurt.

The arms we were working on to put shims under wont stay up if they are locked out. dont disagree with you about locking stuff out but on this machine its not possible to do it while working on it sometimes and thats not safe. i will be looking to change jobs soon even if its for less money. this has opened my eyes up over how unsafe it is to work on these pipe casting machine because of there design. First, I'm glad you're ok man. Accidents like this usually don't end so well! Second, the company you work for needs to get a safe way to work on the machine engineered or somebody else will end up owning the place after a member of their family loses their life from working on live equipment. Surely some form of pins, chains or braces can be added to the arms for safety. No way I'm working on a machine when my safety is depending on someone not pushing a button!

Sounds to me like your employer should have had some way to protect you from the "potential" of being crushed/injured/killed, etc. Just a thought....
Glad you are still with us.

Don't quit your job, talk to your employer and let them fix the problem. It is their responsibility. The fact that you were hospitalized means the case is reportable to OSHA, so they may very well get a visit and be forced to fix the issue anyway.
A push of a button caused the injury. Properly controlling the button would be a good place to start. This can be as simple as putting a lockable box over the button. Nothing about the machine would change, except that the button would be controlled.
Lots of machines are worked on while energized everyday; however they have controls or interlocks in place to prevent accidental activation of the hazard. x2. There has to be a way to make this safe. If you don't force them to do it, they will leave it as is and someone else will get hurt or killed. I would think seriously about calling a lawyer and/or OSHA. They are in the area. This week, we just had a surprise visit and a fine for failure to lock out a machine that was no where near as dangerous as what you worked on. OSHA will not play with them. There has to be a way to make every job safe. If US is anything like the steel plants i worked in, someone has to make them do the right thing or it won't get done.
