Safety: 1. Our department has 2 cnc machines that we operate and they don?t have safety switches on them. To where an employee could run one of those machines but if an employee were open the door while the machine is running, the machine will keep running.
This is very dangerous when training trainees. Catastrophic accidents can occur to inexperienced CNC machine operators who don?t understand the danger of opening the door before the machine has completely stopped, This has been a problem since I started working here. We only have one cnc machine in the shop that has a safety switch to where when an employee can open the door and the machine will automatically stop. There are approximately ?6? employees that operate the machines that don?t have safety locks. Only two of us are experienced cnc machinist and the 4 other employees are inexperienced. The foreman?s know that those machines don?t have safety locks. They knew that was a danger but they kept the employees on risk The Machines are leaking oil which are flammable. Maintenance crew and owner are aware of this situation but continue to keep they?re employees on risk At one point in the beginning of 2021 the company couldn?t provide PPE. Health: 1. The company effortlessly didn?t follow Covid protocols for the employees safety during the pandemic. Restroom was filthy during the pandemic and still dirty. The laser filter doesn?t work as well, approximately 2 employees were in a hazard environment
