I came into work on Monday, and the largest, most important machine in the shop is sitting, not running, with the power turned off.
A worker lost his arm in an accident while operating it...
OSHA's gonna be all over this one.

They slipped, fell into the vat. Then when they got up they mistook their arm for a giant fry and ate it. Duh.

The manufacturing plant at my company has ~12-inch mixing blades that spin at 600-1000 rpms. Used for mixing 55 gallon drum+ quantities of ink.
Some years ago, a guy decided the best way to clean the shaft of the blade would be to wipe it down with a rag, while it was turned on...

My cousin's perpetually drunk husband chopped a few fingers off with a table saw. They gave him an $80k settlement, it was like he won the lottery.

As a useless aside, I was testing an 80mm computer fan, and it fell over. I went to pick it up and it lopped off a small chunk of my right middle finger. In the process it fell over, so I reached for it with my left hand and it lopped off a small chunk of my right middle finger.
This is why I don't work in a lumber mill.

This is the first time anything big like this has happened. There had been a few small things, people cutting the tips of the fingers off, etc.
One guy cut his thumb on a bandsaw (his own stupidity there)
One guy crushed the tip of his index finger between two metal plates that were stuck apart then broke free when he grabbed and started pushing.
Another guy did the same thing...
One guy cut the tip of his middle finger off by a moving piece of machinery that he put his hand into.
Mostly people being careless around equipment. I clamped my hand in a machine when I was an operator two years ago, luckily it was just a compressed air clamp, and not hydraulics. Ended up with a bruise and that's about it.
I'm just glad I wasn't there when it happened... I don't think I want to see a person's arm being sheared off (irl of course, movies it's ok).

I used to work at this postal distribution place which had these belt operated envelope stuffing machines at which people were hired to make sure that they stay filled and running.
Well this one woman who I knew had dropped something under the machine and bent down to get it. Her hair got caught in it and the machine scalped her like a Pawnee warrior.

Was the guys arm reattached?

I can't say for sure. He was taken to the hospital, then flown somewhere I guess. Last I knew, he went into surgery and was out of surgery within a couple hours. We haven't heard word of anything else, I'm sure there are channels that the info has to go through for insurance and osha purposes.
A serious injury like that, I don't think 2-3 hours of surgery would be enough to re-attach a portion of a limb. It wasn't a clean cut, it was a crushing cut. Two pieces of moving steel, no sharp edges, (very dull rounded corners).
It was not the entire arm, it was the hand and a portion of the forearm.

I can't stand near compressed gas cylinders unless they are strapped to a wall or have the cap screwed on over the valve (insert obligatory sex reference here).
It's amazing how often you see them at stores catering to children stored in a totally unsafe way. Of course I tell whatever employees are on hand that it can punch a hole in a brick wall and that they should take it seriously.

I could at this point regale you all with stories from the last 20 odd years of lurking about in operating theatres around the world, and some of the sights I've seen.
But I wont, because I'm at work, and it would seem too much like I'm actually working then.

Me and a guy were working on a machine, and the other guy had the welder out, and of course it has the gas tanks with it.
A careless operator moved a small crane by and hit the tank, it tipped over the entire welder (the tank was chained to the welder securely).
The whole thing ended up on its side, and the valve for the tank was less than an inch for a thick metal gate, and the bottom of the tank was pointed right at me and the guy I was working with.
Needless to say, we were very happy that the valve hadn't hit that thick metal gate and ruptured. I don't feel like being hit by a runaway gas tank.

Yeah, this incident is gonna cost the OP's company an arm and a leg...well just a leg I guess.
Is that ok? That's the best I can do on short notice at 11PM.

The guy was fine in the end, no point in being all up in arms about it.
You gonna give him a hand when he gets back?
