Current Policy
None.
It would be nice to have one. It truly is a miracle that no one has gotten seriously injured at Factor E farm.
Incidents
On August 10, 2014 a power cube chain coupler on the lifetrac 6 exploded into numerous high energy parts, approximately 3 minutes after a protective metal plate was installed behind the operators head, on the instincts of an engineer that has since left the farm. Steel pieces of the chain were welded into the aluminum plate on trajectories that could have seriously injured or killed the operator had the plate not been installed.
Numerous incidents of people working alone with dangerous heavy equipment in the dark using only a headlamp for illumination.
