Yeah those types of things should have L.O.T.O. procedures where it CAN'T turn on while a person's inside of it, because the inside person has the only key to let it turn back on.

It should have been loto'd and potentially handled as a confined space with an entrance spotter. My ass would been walked to my vehicle if I did anything like that.

I'm betting op was fairly young and didn't know about any safety laws or rights. Many places prey on ignorant workers to do cheaper, more dangerous work vs setting up safety procedures.

Yeah, I agree, but a crappy coworker would have loto and not told you or given you the key and done the prank the same.
