    it had a sensor for it, it malfunctioned, now why it wasn’t turned off while the tech was in there is another story. If they were testing it, they should have been a safe distance away or had it mostly powered off. This is just unsafe work environment.

      My first question when I read the article was why didn’t they lock out/tag out the machine before getting in it?
