A trainee employee was cleaning a flour batch mixer. The employee was reaching into the machine when another worker activated the wrong switch turning the machine on. The employee cleaning the mixer suffered fatal crushing injuries to his neck. There was an unwritten company procedure for locking out during all maintenance. The procedure was not followed.
An employee was cleaning scrap from beneath a large shear when a fellow employee hit the control button activating the blade. The blade came down and decapitated the employee cleaning the scrap.
