Worker Killed in West Milwaukee Industrial Accident



WEST MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (USA) - A manufacturer worker was killed in an industrial accident at Galland Henning Nopak, Inc. in West Milwaukee at about 11 a.m. Tuesday.

The accident happened in front of the machine manufacturer (Galland Hening & Nopak Fluids Power Product) near the intersection of 40th and Mineral streets.


The report said that the piece of metal was found on the ground of the building at the scene of the accident and that piece of sheet metal also was fell and killed 61-year old worker, Leroy Baker. Baker's girlfriend told that he had worked at Galland Henning Nopak since he was 16 years old.

The company that Baker's worked is a manufacturers of Pneumatic & Hydraulic Cylinder and valves & scrap recycling equipment.

West Milwaukee Police and Occupational Safety & Health Administration Investigator are heading to the scene to investigate the accident.


Point Of View

In this case, the sources of this problem maybe were brought by two different parties which is from that company's management and their own employee. In this case, management should be blame because their management on workers was lack of safety. The management should always give a complete maintenance and always make an inspection to that machine or equipment. It because that the equipment that provided by the company to lift the piece of sheet metal was malfunction when lifting load. It will give a bad impact to other people or worker that nearby by that place. That company also does not put a warning sign to public or workers that relate to this work because it was a work that people difficult to see the work process that over the head and it also was done on public area so it should be informed to public. That employee also must alert and know on any job that was running by the company and it may reduce the possibility or chances to any accident like this happen again.....
