Read the stories and say what the people did wrong.

Story 1. Rashed was cleaning a biscuit-making machine and wanted to go home early. Even though he’d been properly trained by his employer, Rashed was eager to save time, so he didn’t follow the correct procedures for isolating the machine first. He tried to clean the machine while it was running on a slow setting, but he touched a moving part, which amputated the end of his right index finger.

Story 2. Maria was trying to adjust the out-feed side of a bread-slicing machine when her hand touched the machine’s moving blades. As she tried to free her fingers, the blades amputated one of them. The safety guard — which would have prevented Maria’s hand from making contact with the blades — was not fitted to the machine. Maria hadn’t received adequate training, nor was she supervised.

Story 3. Janneke walked past a conveyor belt. She turned around, and her loose-fitting sleeve got caught in the belt’s unguarded nip point. The fabric was pulled tight around her arm to such an extent that it cut through her muscle to the bone before a co-worker managed to stop the conveyor. As a result of these severe arm injuries, she was hospitalized and off work for many months.
