Worker Killed after Entanglement with Rotating Shaft

Remind workers of ways to prevent these types of injuries and deaths: Service equipment following manufacturer’s instructions. Only use equipment when manufacturer’s guards or an adequate replacement guard is in place and operational. Inspect all safety guards before operating equipment. Never remove machine guards while equipment is energized or can potentially become energized. Never alter machine guards without manufacturer’s approval. De-energize and lock-out equipment’s energy before removing guard to service equipment and always replace guards after servicing equipment. Don’t wear loose clothing or jewelry and keep hair tight.
