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.

At 2:15 p.m. on November 29, 2022, an employee was lubricating conveyor rollers with WD-40 in an energized robotic cell referred to as the iPal palletizer machine. There were no other similar machines in the facility. The employee was between the robot arm and south side of the conveyor when he unknowingly activated the photo eye located at the roller plane which senses when pallets are ready to be picked up. The motion of moving the can of WD-40 over the conveyor area satisfied the photo eye which then sent the robot arm into motion, striking the employee in the back of the head, neck, and shoulder area pushing him down into the conveyor and piercing his neck, skull, and right hand. The robot arm stopped moving likely because the servos that moved the robot arm limited out due to sensing friction. The employee died due to crushing and piercing injuries.
