Robô mata trabalhadora em indústria automobilística no Alabama, EUA. Notícia em inglês, aqui. Aqui no Brasil temos tido acidentes parecidos, embora com desfechos menos graves. Este evento bem que podia ser tomado como aviso sobre a gravidade potencial desse tipo de acidente.
Destaco trecho da notícia:
"Kia and Hyundai’s on-demand production targets are so high that workers at their suppliers are often required to work six and sometimes seven days a week to meet the targets,” said Dr. Michaels. “It appears that – to reduce its own costs in meeting these targets – this supplier cut corners on safety, at the expense of workers’ lives and limbs.”
OSHA issued willful citations to Ajin USA for:
– Failing to utilize energy control procedures to prevent machinery from starting up during maintenance and servicing.
– Exposing workers to caught-in, struck-by and crushing hazards by allowing them to enter a robotic cell without shutting down and securing hazardous stored energy according to safety procedures.
– Failing to provide safety locks to isolate hazardous energy.
– Exposing employees to crushing and amputation hazards due to improper machine guarding."
