At 6:00 a.m. on September 2, 2020, an employee was adjusting a robot used to make molds. The robot activated and struck the employee. The employee was hospitalized to treat fractures to the ribs and back area and a punctured lung.

At 11:00 a.m. on August 28, 2020, an employee was shredding cabbage with a food processing machine (Robot Coupe CL 50). The employee was hand-feeding cabbage into the food processing machine. The employee reached too far into the machine, and the tips of her right index and middle fingers contacted the rotating blade (point of operation) of the machine, causing amputation injuries. The employee was hospitalized.

At 10:04 a.m. on August 16, 2020, an employee was unsticking a pallet and adjusting sensors on an industrial robot. The sensors were activated causing the robot to begin its cycle. The robot grabbed the employee and pulled him to the floor attempting to complete its cycle. The employee's leg was broken and required hospitalization for treatment.

At 4:30 a.m. on January 9, 2020, an employee and Coworker #1 were performing maintenance work drilling out and replacing bolts for an access panel on the pusher table of an auto depalletizing robot (Robot #2) within a robot cell. At the same time, coworker #2 was preparing to test the operational functions of the dunnage robot (Robot #1). Coworker #2 completed maintenance work on Robot #1 while the employee and Coworker #1 remained inside the robot cell. Coworker #2 exited the robot cell to reset the light curtains. The employee and Coworker #1 had entered the robot cell through the light curtains and that neither had isolated the electrical and pneumatic energy sources at the controls on Robot #2 or affixed lockout devices before performing maintenance work. Coworker #2 reset the robot cell perimeter light curtains for Robot #1 and Robot # 2 in preparation for a test run on Robot #1. The Robot #2 pusher table and robot arm turned on after the perimeter light curtains were reset and the run cycle was initiated in automatic mode on the operator control panel. The employee and Coworker #1 were both sitting on the Robot #2 pusher table while repairing damaged bolts on the table, so the pusher arm sensor for the Robot #2 pusher arm detected something on the table that needed to be pushed off. Coworker #1 managed to get off the pusher table without injury, but the employee was unable to move in time. The employee's feet had dropped down into the recessed area where they had removed an access plate from the table. His feet were repeatedly struck by the pusher arm as the robot tried to complete the normal programmed action of clearing materials from the table outgoing conveyors. His coworkers hit the emergency stop buttons on the outside of the robot cell and helped the employ
