On May 9, 2008, an employee was working as a machine operator for a firm that ma nufactured bricks and concrete blocks. He was assisting, as a forklift operator removed a core puller mold from a block machine that was part of a Columbia Mode l Number 16/1600 block-making system. The Columbia block machine was locked out at the time of the accident. The employee assisting on the ground was watching p iping in the area, as his coworker, the forklift operator, operated the industri al truck to remove the core puller mold. The forklift hit a valve located on a p ole next to the block machine. The damaged valve released the stored energy on t he Columbia UL26 automatic offbearer system located next it. The employee had hi s foot on the unloader carriage frame of the automatic offbearer system. The rel ease of the stored energy caused the frame to move forward and strike the employ ee's right foot. The employee went to the emergency room for treatment, but he w as not hospitalized.
