Event description
Employee is killed when struck by die
Investigation abstract
At 8:00 a.m. on July 15, 2024, an employee was moving a stamping die with an overhead crane. The employee had not tightly secured at least one of the four eyebolts into the die. As the employee was lifting/moving the die with an overhead crane, one of the eyebolts came out of the die, which caused it to shift, and a corner of the die struck the ground. Following this, the top half of the die came off the bottom half and stuck the employee, ultimately landing on top of his body. The employee was killed.
