Incident on Jan 26, 2018 (fatal): Employee is killed by tire recycling shredder

At 7:30 p.m. on January 26, 2018, an employee was working for a wholesaler of recycled material. He was clearing a tire jam inside a shredder. To enter the shredder, he had passed a functioning light curtain. Once inside the shredder, the employee reset the light curtain. The reset button of the light curtain was on the side of the shredder past the light curtain (presumably, within its boundary). The narrative did not state whether he did this before or after the jam had been cleared. Once the light curtain had been reset, the shredder started operating. The employee was pulled into the shredder and was killed.
