Chinese Workers in 400 ton Stamping Press
This video is incredible. Chinese works sit inside stamping area of a metal stamping press. At first glance it appears unsafe just for one big reason but there are several:
- Worker's complete body is in press with obvious head and neck injury risk.
- Press appears to be cycling automatically and could come down while operator fumbles with part in die.
- No safety device like two hand switchs to comfirm hand location.
- No guarding between die and workers to stop broken punches or guid pins.
- No ear protection from noise.
- No eye protection.
I am sure there is more but elimination of worker safety appears to be a competitive strategy for China. |
