1184 If a power press was equipped by the manufacturer with a mechanism for bypassing the point-of-operation guard, and the manufacturer never informed the employer about dangers resulting from using the bypass mechanism, the point-of-operation guard provisions of the LabC do not apply, and workers' compensation is the employee's exclusive remedy against the employer for injuries resulting from use of the bypass mechanism.CitationAGUILERA v HENRY SOSS (Point of Operation) 42 CA4 1724 [See: LabC 4558; Award v Superior Court 228 CA3 1128]
