Backrest guillotines operator while repairing pinched chain
The chain got caught in between the chain wheel and the mast, disabling the fork to go up and down. While a mechanic was fixing the trouble, an operator wanted to see how the repair work was going on and stuck his head through an opening of the backrest. Right at that moment the pinched chain returned to normality. The operator got his head caught between the cylinder and the backrest and was seriously injured.



Corrective Action
1. If repair work is to be done with parts or component that may accidentally fall off, support it with a pillar or block to prevent the danger.
2. Do not allow any third person to get in a workplace involving danger.
