Unlocked controls. Exactly as I thought.
Gross negligence. They were probably told to "hurry it up" by management.

Yup. All machines must be powered down and locked out before cleaning... somehow it seems owners of dough mixers in particular are negligent about this, because I SWEAR I've heard this story at least a couple times before.

One of the bakery's employees was inside the gated zone to clean the mixer at the time, while another worker was at the control panel outside the zone, the release reads. The second worker - contrary to safety procedures - closed the safety gates and reset the system.

The province says the employee cleaning the dough chunker asked their coworker to turn the machine on momentarily in order to rotate the uncleaned portions of the machine parts, so they could clean it.

Consequently, the worker cleaning the dough chunker was seriously injured by the rotating blades.

There are several types of flour for making bread: Bread flour, if you want a tight gluten structure; all purpose flour, if you want a cakier texture; and, whole wheat, if you don't want anyone to actually eat the bread.  If your recipe makes two loaves, it is customary to bring the second loaf out to your family only after scarfing down the first loaf in the kitchen like a starving dog.  To determine if your bread is done, take it from the oven, hold the loaf upside down and tap it with your forefinger. If you burn your other hand holding it, it is probably done.

Before putting them in the oven, take a razor and cut the tops of your loaves. They know why.

I've seen guys sitting behind a locked safety gate pulling material past a dead zone in a machine while high speed robotic lifters zoom up and down just a few feet behind. Lifters that are fast and powerful enough to kill or seriously injure you.  They know where the lifters are and they don't go in that part of the fenced off area.

Telling somebody about it does no good; management already knows.  I am told it's a cultural thing.  in the country where the owner is from, you never stop production if a machine is down.  you just put somebody there to help the process along until the shift is over and then they fix it.

All this goes on in a new facility in the USA right now.

That behavior probably means they've done that before, without a serious injury. Probably several times. That doesn't mean it's "safe." Lots of things seem reasonable until something goes to sh*t.

I watch, almost daily, as a co-worker clears debris from his Stihl power shears without shutting down the machine.  I said something once, and he explained all the reasons it is safe to stick his fingers in there with machine running.

As an apprentice carpenter, I was told on the first day that the moment you disrespect a power tool, it bites you. Best thing I've ever been taught.

I just dove down a Google hole to check, and it turns out that this was the guy that the subplot/story arc of Claire and the stolen foot came out of (it was the bakery worker's foot).

Was on a jobsite where a hillbilly finish trim carpenter would chide us for being slow and afraid to use tools like he did. He liked holding a workpiece with his left hand while using his cordless circular saw (with safety guard pinned back for even more efficiency). I, regretfully, missed getting to see it when the saw skipped out, tore up the back of his hand and the blade became embedded in his knuckle.  Everyone who saw it said it was beautiful. The normalization of deviance eventually pays off.

Idiot 1; Engineers 0

(RTFA people!)  Gates, lockouts, procedures were all in place.  But the engineer thought it would be safer to put more room between the gate and the hazard to ensure an arm's length.  Didn't think how someone would actively try to defeat the safety by getting in between the two and closing the gate.

It's not just HOW you would defeat the safety device - it's also WHY you would do that.  If it gets in the way of cleaning and maintenance someone will figure out a way.

I had a friend who was a staunch Republican. Worked in the coal mines. Hated government regulation. Then he got his left leg caught in some dangerous machinery, and they had to amputate his foot. Now he leans left.

You should see the Chinese industrial robot accident videos, where there are no stop switches or safety gates / fences. Robots repeatedly beat the crap out of workers, while the others try to stop it.

There can be lots of such reasons. But all it takes is one reason for it to be un-safe.

It's a whole class of bad puns somewhere between schoolyard and dad categories.

Q: What do you call a one legged woman?  A: Eileen.
