At the factory I work at, if the press is hand transfer there has to be a set of palm buttons for each operator. Each operator must push the buttons at the same time to make the presses move. Doesn't matter if there are two operators or four, each one has palm buttons. Safety light curtains are also used on every machine

Try to change whatever your doing that makes everyone dislike you Coonman.

Uggghg

I still hate my job.

They don't got that, that why say, unsafe machines, I got this job over 3 years ago, so u listen what they say an do what tell u to do, strict, but need think about this machine , ur put ur arms, hands, even head in very heavy machine, to put in parts or take out on different stations an in an correctly or else big trouble, so chance lasar lite curtain fail, are preety slim I say but this clown I call anyone that or whatever, dork, anyone that is Trump down on palm buttons like yesterday a younger guy that know if all an was in not good mood or don't like me an didn't care an just decide press controls to cycle machine while I in it, others do it to, I have told new ppl to run controls an I do all work or mist it out in parts as not want them screw up, an they daydream or pay no attention an try get machine go while I in it, if a slim chance the lasar curtain fails an it could happen, I be goner , that what I talk about,supposed be set controls for each operater , the hr, I don't think ever talk me in 3.5 yrs,say in meeting that we have all machines saftey inspected by ossia, that's a lie, I about laugh at that

At old factory in bigger town close , I work 7 months an quit, they had 1 old press brake kinda hidden an old, behind other stuff, rarely used, no lasar lite curtains an had foot pedal though for 2 ooeraters but u could cut hands or fingers off easy if svrewup with no lite curtain

Is than in the Ukraine ??

You should get a job with OSHA, since you can identify so many issues.

I don't think coonman220 could handle working in a belt and line shaft driven workshop!

coonman220 I am not from your state. I have a manufacturing company I own in MI. We work closely with MIOSHA and invite them in each year for an inspection. In very rare occasions I have had a disgruntled employee call them with a "concern". In every instance I had to reply with detailed evidence that the concern was not valid or face a visit from them with potential fines. In every instance the identity and shift worked of the employee was not disclosed to me. This is good and frustrating at the same time. One it protects the employee from an employer who may retaliate (which is illegal). At the same time it makes it difficult to problem solve or determine if an issue existed as the complaint is usually vague and not time stamped. Bottom line is in my experience MIOSHA takes every complaint seriously and treats it like a hazard at the same time protecting the employee. BTW and not to be a jerk if any of my employees entered a machine not locked/tagged out they would be fired. If your employer allows this to happen it is an unsafe job. If you are doing it you are being unsafe and could be harmed.

I not talk about lock out tag out, I talk about a huge machine, not go into details touch as someone works there probly already read this and figgure out who I am, I talking about a big machine with 2 operaters an 1 set controls, I in machine with moving or put in parts or take out or whatever got do with hands or body, in production, another operater has hands rested on control buttons an like yesterday, push on them while I'm machine or other cases, not even look at me an just forget go on, daydream or whatever an try cycle machine while my body is in machine, last week, , I don't know who did it, but had the buttons position so the operater couldn't even see me with parts in n out machine an guess when cycle machine, the only thing stop machine is lasar screen, the person run controls, think, ya this fine , I can press on go buttons an if he do something in press, the lasar screen well not let machine work, small chance could fail but easily could happen, I not talk about lock out tag out, I talking about production mode, I notice bunch new temps from another co that there for few wks as there slow, so I see them bysrlf on machine or a few with 2 operaters an 2 controls, I always end up with what I talk about, hard stuff , maybe I not important an get write of as industrial accident an co get out it an say I wasn't supposed be loaf parts machine while jerk is play with go controls , just wondering if this is legal with ossia , as it burns me up, say something whoever do it, does no good or they say, I wasn't push on buttons or I can do that, or get superviser after me an say I wasn't do my job , I belive I call or email ossia once an huge form fill out online, never did , scared say about it at work as cause fights by jerks that do this while I work them , so rely on lasar screen save me , maybe should say that ossia , scared report it boss as retaliation crap job

Then don’t go into the machine if you don’t want to.

Probably legal, because you don’t like it. I heard their is a policy there, that says it is someone’s job every day to find a way to mess with you.


Also, you state. I think you stated in the last sentence.



I call or email ossia once an huge form fill out online, never did


That tells me that you really don’t care about it or you would have filled out the form.

So u are a know it all employer , I don't know but can't see how that legal , I don't think ossia tell u that over phone, or email if legal, u got go with complaint , not like do that but rely on lasar screen save ur arms is not good

I was being a little sarcastic.

No, I’m not a know it all, but, I believe that I am a pretty decent manager with plenty to learn. If one of my people felt unsafe I would have the equipment checked and then I would fix it if something is wrong with it. That would rely on the employee telling me something may be wrong with the equipment and not assuming that I know.

If the equipment is safe, I would explain to the employee that the equipment is functioning correctly and ensure the employee understands that the proper safety precautions are being taken. I would probably also ensure they are trained to use the equipment correctly when they started working for me.

Take care Dave.

If you stick your head in a machine that is energized or controlled by someone else , well you're an idiot !!!!!!

It's your choice to leave at anytime. You had your chance with OSCA and chose not to fill out the form. Stop crying about your job and do something about it. Thank god I am not your employer.

That what employer what me to do, ya I brain wash work there do that, got stop , can't tolerate someone hands even close buttons, say something them an they complain , I wasn't , just ready , not go put up it nomore , I can't get over how they hire some minority for tax cut , that can't even speak English or understand, an unbelivable pass drug test an have them run controls first day, an use, were busy as excuse an don't really care if get arm chop off, insurance cover it

You should run and don't look back !!!!!
