Blood On My Hands
I got notified that someone was cut in half on a system that I designed several years prior. I felt sick to my stomach. I kept thinking, “How could this happen?” Well, when I found out what happened, I couldn’t help but just shake my head in disappointment. The guy willfully bypassed several safety devices and super-manned the system while it was running.
Since I had all of the risk assessments in order and all risks properly mitigated according to ISO 13849, it was determined to be a willful circumvention of an otherwise safe system. However, knowing that something I worked on essentially ended somebody’s life was not a great feeling.
