An employee became trapped under the platen of the S15 two station vacuum forming machine while carrying out a maintenance task. The S15 machine had not been effectively locked out to prevent movement of parts of the machine, including inadvertent movement.
Two other machines, the RDKP 54C Illig and RDKP 54D Illig were found to have defeated interlocks on the doors which had the potential to expose the unguarded moving parts of the machines.
