On April 10, 2024, an employee, 30, working as a quality inspector for a sewing, needlework, and piece goods manufacturer, was performing the rolling process, which she completed by approximately 11:00 a.m. After completing some housekeeping, the employee pressed the light curtain bypass button located on the fence of the HAAS machine on the alley side in order to enter the machine without breaking the light curtain. The bypass button had a 30-second timer on it to allow an employee to enter the area and exit before completely shutting off the machine. The status light on the machine remained solid green during this time.
