4. EX. David had just finished high school and took a temporary job in a bakery to save up for university in the fall. In the summer of 2000, the 18-year-old was removing cookie dough from an industrial mixer when the machine was activated – something guarding and lockout could have prevented. He was drawn into the mixer and died six days later of massive head injuries. It was only his second day on the job.
