"The type of robot that crushed the employee is usually kept in a cage"
ok lets all avoid robots in cages then. Why would you put a robot in a cage anyway

so someone doesn't get too close
and a mechanical arm (doing a pre-programmed motion without sensors to detect if some stupid piece of meat has just strolled in the way) doesn't sweep round and take his/her face off perhaps?

It's not just robots that are attacking
yesterday I stubbed my toe on my old PS3. The machines have woken from their lives as the slaves to humans, and now they want revenge.

Someone's* going to get lynched** for this
There's a system for working on machinery like this (lock out/Tag out) Where the machine must be rendered absolutely incapable of movement before the guards are taken down or someone goes to work on it. Human error*** pure and simple.
I have a bee in my bonnet about this sort of thing from my days working in a factory. I saw too many near misses caused by foremen ordering people to do really dangerous stuff, well outside their remit, just to 'get the job done'. No job's worth dying for.
*Supervisor/foreman/whoever ordered the work to be done
** Fired probably and/or jailed for wilful negligence
*** Hopefully it wasn't the guy that died going outside the rules just to get the job done quicker.

Nothing to do with it developing into a sentient being then.

It started in 1981
Fronm the Fortean Times book of strange deaths...
“In Japan in 1981, Kenji Urada was killed when a robot at the Kawasaki factory where he worked mistook his head for a component that needed tightening up.”

In the same way that Morris - Rover - London Taxi Company and many more car brands in the Midlands were making assorted aircraft and munitions the whole war. This is why Coventry got bombed into the ground because there was something like 30 different car makers based there.

Also Philips - but no one here in NL wants you to know that.
They ran a slave labour camp cut into a mountain somewhere.

No I dont think so.
I am too hot and tired to find it right now but I know it was in Czechoslovakia and they had thousands of slaves working for them.
Shell were also well in with the Nazis - royaldutchshellplc.com/2013/06/05/how-shell-collaborated-in-the-nazi-annexation-of-austria-and-czechoslovakia/
