Find a safety record
Every incident, injury and recall on file, from the national registries that publish them. Search a maker, a model, a town or a reference number — or narrow by what happened. Each record is the registry's own text, reproduced without rewriting, with the reference that locates it at the source. Registries count different things, so a total is a count of FILINGS and never a measure of how dangerous something is. How the record was collected.

Death reported2021-11-03OSHA140862.015
At 6:35 p.m. on November 3, 2021, an employee was performing maintenance work on a machine in the automotive engine parts manufacturing facility. As the employee performed maintenance on the tool brush inside the deenergized machine, his upper body was protruding through the part entry door on top of the machine. While working in this position, the energized gantry robot which moves parts to and from the individual machines across the crank shaft line, entered the employee's work zone and struck him. The employee was entangled and caught between the gantry's "grabber hand" and the side of the machine. The employee suffered fatal injuries due to entanglement at the waist level by the gantry and the inside of the machine causing bleeding, contusions, lacerations, and bruises in the upper arms, chest, head and rib cage areas.
