How it happened, who can guess? These type of presses have guards on everything, with trip out switches so it the guard is not in place, the machine won't run. They must have been either bypassed or not working, and generally if they are not working, or faulty, the set up is such that the press won't run. This suggests to me that someone has possibly bypassed the switch somehow.
Man dies at Sydney print plant | Australia | News
A man has died at a Sydney printing facility after being trapped in machinery. Ambulance officers arrived at the Kellaway Place facility in Wetherill Park at 6.09pm on Friday, just 11 minutes after receiving the call, to find the already deceased.
Australian Printer understands the accident took place at Ultra Press, a commercial and trade printer specialising in large format printing. The company was unavailable for comment at the time of publishing.
The NSW Ambulance Service told Australian Printer that when paramedics arrived they found the man, said to be in his mid thirty’s, “Still trapped in the machinery with severe head and upper body injuries.”
It is not yet known, which piece of machinery was involved in the accident, however the company owns a Roland Ultra 6 - six colour press, a Roland Ultra 5 - four colour press and a Roland Ultra 5 - four colour press.
According to national media, WorkCover and police have launched an investigation.
