Muerte de un Troquelista

Un operario de 51 años (la víctima) de una empresa de moldeo de plásticos sufrió lesiones mortales por aplastamiento cuando aparentemente entró en una máquina de moldeo por soplado de plásticos para realizar tareas menores de mantenimiento. La víctima había relevado al operario de la máquina en una pausa programada. Aproximadamente a las 6:15 a.m., la víctima entró en el área cerrada de la máquina, posiblemente para realizar un pequeño ajuste. Al entrar en la máquina, la víctima atravesó el sistema de seguridad de la cortina de luz de la máquina, lo que provocó que ésta se pusiera en marcha. La víctima fue aplastada cuando las placas de la prensa de la máquina se juntaron para moldear una nueva pieza. Un compañero de trabajo encontró a la víctima y llamó a un supervisor. Las lesiones del incidente eran masivas y no se administraron primeros auxilios. La víctima fue declarada muerta en el lugar del accidente.

La máquina implicada en este incidente era una máquina de moldeo por soplado de plástico preparada para producir pequeños envases de plástico. El proceso comienza con la extrusión de plástico caliente desde arriba. A continuación, se presiona entre dos placas de prensa en las que se montan las mitades del molde, conocidas como matrices. Una vez prensadas las matrices, se insufla aire en el plástico para darle la forma interior del molde. Las matrices estaban aproximadamente a 1,2 m del suelo. En ocasiones, la máquina necesitaba pequeños ajustes en el sistema de inyección de aire para producir correctamente. Los ajustes se hacían normalmente con una pequeña llave hexagonal. Esto sólo debía hacerse después de que el capataz o el matricero desconectaran la máquina.
