    Maybe I’m too common sense, but I would not just turn off a large machine but also UNPLUG IT whilst performing maintenance on it…

    Sounds like HAL. The Machine , ” when it unexpectedly turned on .”
    Osha is not any beter. ” machine could not accidentally become active .”

    The Description of the Loss is not written properly. These were ACTS of PEOPLE , not the acts of the Machine.

    The man did not properly de- energize the Machine.

    Another employee violated the principle of not activitating a machine someone was working on.
