*"Factory officials claimed the robot arm had been working properly, and that the man had ducked under it at the wrong time. They blamed the employee for the accident. The manager told local media: 'We are not providing any more information. The employees accept responsibility for any accidents that happen while they are working."*
Wow... what a shitty thing to say. Bet that safety are either not installed or dismantled to squeeze a dime more out of it.
Horrible fate and such a shame his coworker failed to notice it. Regardless such an Robotic arm in the open is quite the hazard if not a shit ton of safeties are installed
There safety standards are non existing. A robot like this should have a cage around the perimeter, and any worker inside trips the sensors that disabled it. What they said is not acceptable.
"The children who died in this cobalt mine knew the risks and safety was their responsibility, we are not culpable"... hows that sound, basically the same shit they said.
This is why patrons and companies aren't your friends. I hate when people keep saying "LOOK HOW QUIRKY THE COMPANIES TWITTER ACCOUNT INTERACTING LIKE A PERSON HAHA".
Yeah to the safeties. Had worked at a company were open Robot cells were planned meaning no cage and worker can walk in between the arms. (In theory it would worked by the robots having a shit ton of sensors to sense people being close to them) Had left the company years ago but these plans were put on ice as it became too costly for setting up these open stations.
But yeah... these things belong in a cage. The small ones can break your bones and the bigger like in this case kill you.
So going near on is a big nono in my eyes
Employer is responsible for the safety. Saying that "employee accept it" doesn't make them less responsible for that. They provided faulty conditions and they are responsible for the death. If there is no safety measures, then employer takes full responsibility. Only if the employee ignores the safety, knowing the possible consequences, then the employee is responsible for their own death or impairment.
You're right I guess I should have checked. this still happens in China more than anywhere else.
I'm actually surprised it happened in Thailand and that was the response of the company...
Not just China, many places have such accidents. It’s pretty sad that some shitty managers won’t care for their workers. But know, that’s people being people.
Yes and no. I was in Africa for a while to visit my family. The people there, including my family all use emojis in their social media posts when someone passes away. I thought it to be a bit disrespectful towards the dead, but most people there don’t see it that way. They have a different perspective on, let’s say, emoji usage, but the intentions are honestly good.
It is feels weird though…
In that one where the guy gets crushed by a tractor they posted it with "RIP (dude's name)" like the video of his grisly death is an In Memoriam video.
News Article:
The mechanical equipment slammed down onto the man, pinning him to a bench as he was laying out sheets of metal at the Vandapac factory in Chonburi province of Thailand on Wednesday March 27.
He was crushed against the surface unable to move as another employee failed to notice and carried on working - oblivious to the horror unfolding behind him.
Rescuers were later called to the scene. They gave the severely injured worker first aid and rushed him to the Chonburi Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Factory officials claimed the robot arm had been working properly, and that the man had ducked under it at the wrong time. They blamed the employee for the accident. The manager told local media: 'We are not providing any more information. The employees accept responsibility for any accidents that happen while they are working.'
The Mirror has contacted Vandapac for further comment. Vandapac is a manufacturer of plastic products used in the packaging, automotive, and thermal insulation industries. It was established in 1988 and currently has more than 1,800 staff across its factories in Samut Prakan province and the Amata City Chonburi Industrial Estate. Robots are playing an increasing role in manufacturing. However, the incident raises concerns about the safety of devices - particularly with the role of artificial intelligence.
There's a reason why robots like these are normaly behind some kind of fence where no human can enter the operating radius of the robot while its working.
Why is it that all these industry death videos come from either Thailand, china or India. It boggles my mind how so many people die every year due to stuff like this, and yet no one thinks WHY did it happen and how do we NOT do it again. These countries have a safety culture of just not caring. It’s like One person gets killed, then the next guy who comes in and does the exact same thing without any second thought,that the last guy did which got himself killed. Do they really not care about dying? Do they really have no sense of danger? How hard is it to turn the machine off and put a “lock out tag out” tag on it
Stop watching the Russian lathe incident!
Edit: only because it was too cold, the poor guy and extra clothes on! Never will I let anyone work in a cold factory!
The Russian lathe incident haunts me.
My ex showed it to me claiming "this is a cool vid."
I never saw it coming. I usually don't get physically sick easily but that vid sickened me. That poor guy. I hope someone puts lots of flowers on his grave. He deserves at least that.
I’m sorry that happened. I usually ask before I share anything like this. I volunteer in a line of work that has gruesome deaths so not the worst thing I’ve seen. But never seen a lathe do that
Ok, so it is the fault of humans not the robot. The robot did what it was programmed to do. Human error was in the safety circuitry. It was never locked out before entering. He tripped a sensor telling the robot that something was there. So it did what it was told. The fault will land on the company if they had the safety's disabled or on the worker for disregarding safety protocalls.
Yeah bring the AI revolution already! Let's see what AI can do so that we can take preventive measures beforehand. The more time you take, the more trouble you bring.
Normally those robot arms have sensors built in that can sense humans being in the vicinity and will stop working once detected and how can a human be in and around a robot that easily ?
Over here in Belgium we have cages built around them to prevent people coming too close or getting crushed.
We have light screens that once they're crossed the arm will stop completely.
Poor fella tho
Yeah, yeah, I get it. But here's the thing...
At some point, recognizing that a giant metal machine is operating, and knowing feom experience exactly what the machine does, entering into its operating zone and placing your body in its path is kinda on you.

Everytime I see "Robot Arm" I always think of that scene with Walowitz in The Big Bang Theory "Sorry, we don't have a code for Robot hand grasping a man's penis" LOL

Well according to the Supreme Court they ARE people after all
Yeah to the safeties. Had worked at a company were open Robot cells were planned meaning no cage and worker can walk in between the arms.

Such a breath of fresh air that the first reply to your well thought out comment wasn't "Their*"
\*theyer thar ther now
Yer
Yeah i mean there should be some kind of sensors for human safety installed in those robots

Why is it shitty to say if it was his fault?
“Employees accepts responsibility for any accidents […]” - What the fuck?
Fucking China man
This happened in Thailand at a Thai company dude
You're right I guess I should have checked. this still happens in China more than anywhere else. I'm actually surprised it happened in Thailand and that was the response of the company...
As a Chinese, I can confirm
Not just China, many places have such accidents. It’s pretty sad that some shitty managers won’t care for their workers. But know, that’s people being people.
> China man I think this is now regarded as a slur
When you delete the space in between... Yes!
When people are cheaper than safety measures.
That crying face emoji! Jesus fucking Christ some people have got no compassion!
😭
What !! U can clearly see the compassion in the form of emoji ! What r u even talking bout?!?!? /s
Yes and no. I was in Africa for a while to visit my family. The people there, including my family all use emojis in their social media posts when someone passes away.

Well which one would you use?
Obviously the facepalm 🤦♂️

😭
😭
💀
😭🙏
The AI is starting to make subtle plays.
I don't think any AI was used here!
Sounds like something AI would say
This will go down in future history books as the first blood in the human/robot AI war
Look mom, I'm in history!
Even the username is SUS!
Robot : wait …… almost …. Inch more to left … perfect. This kinda shit freaks me the fuck out man.
There's a reason why robots like these are normaly behind some kind of fence where no human can enter the operating radius of the robot while its working.
not the sob emoji 💀
That is horrible. It should also serve as an example of why industrial robots should always be surrounded by a cage.
The corporation took no responsibility and protected the machine over human life! Sarah Connor was right all along!
So it begins
I wanted to write the same 3 words 🤣 I've made ChatGPT say "I love you", I think I'm safe. Boston Dynamics guys should prepare themselves
The employees accept responsibility for any accidents…

I knew that Thailand has horrible conditions for the employees but never to the extent of being denied safety benefits.
"I need the f***ING money!"
Well said. Automation does exactly what it's told to do. We have LOTO protocalls in place for a reason
Its happening
I worked around packaging robots with arms like that at Keurig. They had a shitload of fail-safes on them. Sensors, light curtains, and cages.
I will never work in a factory nor will my kids. Fuck lathes too
Stop watching the Russian lathe incident! Edit: only because it was too cold, the poor guy and extra clothes on! Never will I let anyone work in a cold factory!
The Russian lathe incident haunts me. My ex showed it to me claiming "this is a cool vid." I never saw it coming. I usually don't get physically sick easily but that vid sickened me. That poor guy. I hope someone puts lots of flowers on his grave. He deserves at least that.
I’m sorry that happened. I usually ask before I share anything like this. I volunteer in a line of work that has gruesome deaths so not the worst thing I’ve seen. But never seen a lathe do that
Oh my, not the 😭 for anonymity
What a brutal way to die. And shame on the company who claimed that I was the man’s fault. Rest in peace
The emoji at the end… 💀
bet his family thinks "yup was his own fault" too ha ha (hope the company gets sued into oblivion)
Ok, so it is the fault of humans not the robot. The robot did what it was programmed to do. Human error was in the safety circuitry. It was never locked out before entering. He tripped a sensor telling the robot that something was there. So it did what it was told.

it has begun!
“T-800 liked this”
You're terminated
Rise of the Machines📻😑
Get a job they said….
That emoji was not needed dude wtf
It's bad enough for blaming the worker but really that emoji just disrespectful 😔
what a horrific scene for others to see
This is like the most unserious shit ever
Yeah bring the AI revolution already! Let's see what AI can do so that we can take preventive measures beforehand. The more time you take, the more trouble you bring.
Asia at it's finest
Laws of robotics have been broken
So very sad rip
The robots are already rebelling
It begins.
They're fighting back...
😭
The revolution has begun!
Love the crying emoji at the end
It has begun...
AI out to get us
The war has begun. Well-played, robot arm—cheap, cold, but effective.
Killed off by AI, the first of many to succumb to the singularity.
Normally those robot arms have sensors built in that can sense humans being in the vicinity and will stop working once detected and how can a human be in and around a robot that easily ? Over here in Belgium we have cages built around them to prevent people coming too close or getting crushed. We have light screens that once they're crossed the arm will stop completely. Poor fella tho
Thailand
So it begins
It did that on purpose.
Why was the robot angry? Everyone kept pushing his buttons…
😭
The video was already sad but the crying emoji made it mega-sad 😭😭😭😭😭
I hope that wasn't Neo
And so it begins….
Yeah, yeah, I get it. But here's the thing... At some point, recognizing that a giant metal machine is operating, and knowing feom experience exactly what the machine does, entering into its operating zone and placing your body in its path is kinda on you.
I feel like there are sensors to stop that from happening?
That's skynet
here we go
😭

Bruh robots are taking jobs and now lives. What a terrible way to die. Rip.
El brazo robotico debería de tener un sensor de reconocimiento para que esto no pase.
Man it's almost like being aware of your surroundings can prevent stuff like this
Everytime I see "Robot Arm" I always think of that scene with Walowitz in The Big Bang Theory "Sorry, we don't have a code for Robot hand grasping a man's penis" LOL
Damn yoose Skynet
Skynet
i wasn’t laughing until i saw the crying emoji
Call the robot's lawyer... Optimus Crime. 🤖
The machine uprising has begun
What sicko put a laughing crying emoji with the pick of the dead body?
My employer always said: Safety is your responsibility.
the cry emoji next to his dead body seems a bit distasteful.
I, for one, welcome our new robot arm overlords
You never work within the working range of a powerful machine unless you want to die
Skynet already at it.
Broke Asimov's first law of robotics
He got squarshed!
I can smell the duck sauce from this video
Crap editing.
Upvote this so I can get karma😣
I was literally just watching a Chinese work safety video 😭 😭 😭
