Check whether the organisation has big enough finances to invest in fully automated pressing machines which would not need manual workers.

Determine whether the organisation had considered changing the panels to plastic mouldings which would be less likely to cause accidents.

Ask top management to explain how the reoccurring accidents would affect the setting of future OH and S objectives.

Check that the workers who had been injured had received appropriate compensation, so they did not suffer financially from their accidents or working hours lost while recovering.

Determine whether hazard identification had taken place in respect of the pressing process. If it did, what OH and S risks were identified and what actions were instigated to mitigate these risks?

Determine whether there were any maintenance issues that resulted in the machines being unsafe to use, such as broken or missing guards or faulty emergency stop buttons.

Ensure that the organisation had recorded the reoccurring accidents as an external issue in its determination of context of the organisation. Ensure all interested parties had been informed.
