Bottling Plant Loto Incident

Bottling Plant Loto Incident

The accident happened at a bottling plant in Florida. The employee’s first day on the job turned out to be his last.

Here is a palletizer, a machine that packs rum and stacks it on pallets.

The man in the picture above is operating the machine. He needs to clean it frequently because the wine bottles break when collided and the wine stains the machine.

The situation has not been taken seriously.

When the operator leaves, the machine starts running. As expected, the bottle broke.

At this point, the operator should lockout and tagout the machine,

Prevent someone from accidentally starting the machine. It was Davis in the orange vest. It was his first day on the job, and the operator had asked him to clean the glass below. After a few minutes, Davis went back upstairs to ask a question, then back under the machine. Supervisors and operators had finished cleaning the roller of the conveyor belt above Davis and then switched it on. But what they didn’t know was that Davis was still down there… Then they heard a shout, and they saw that Davis had been crushed by the machine!
