Summary

Description
English: Artist's depiction of a fatal accident involving an industrial robot. From the source: "On July 21, 1984, a thirty-four-year-old male operator of an automated die-cast system went into cardiorespiratory arrest and died after being pinned between the back end of an industrial robot and a steel safety pole. Despite training in the robotics course, instructions on the job, and warnings by fellow workers to avoid this dangerous practice, the victim apparently climbed over, through, or around a safety rail which surrounded two sides of the robot's work envelope. This preventable fatality demonstrates a growing problem of the failure of workers to recognize all the hazards associated with robots."
