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.

I hear they been welding up something to keep people from beimg able to stand where i was at the time it got me. also its a computer screen you push buttons on and when you do you have to take your eye off the machine and other workers.

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.

Very true. I used to work for a contractor (Brandenburg) at U.S. Steel - from what I saw while I was there, their only concern was production/$$$.
