After a short time he realized the ventilating fan was not on, and asked his co-worker to go out and turn it on. The eo-worker hit the wrong switch, the drum storied up, and the man's leg was so severely erushed it had to be amputoted. A maintenance-man attempted to apply belt dressing to a moving conveyor. His sleeve caught between the belt and a roller. His arm was pulled into the nip, and he was crushed between the belt and o scraper. Company policy requiring locking out for such maintenance was violated. A man was chipping hardened cement in the drum of a cement truck. The drum was driven through a power take-off. As he crawled out, his supervisor started the drum, thinking the worker had signaled him to "inch" it so he could chip o new area. The man in the barrel was crushed between the barrel and a support rod on the truck. The accident could not have occurred if the truck's ignition keys were in the worker's pants pocket. An electrician was knocked off a crane carriage and killed when the crane unexpectedly started up. Disconnects were not locked out. -w/ Power should bo locked off ot a point re mote from the machine, such at at a main electric disconnect switch.
