Contributing factors to 287 caught in between fatalities have been identified with respect to individual factors (age, experience, and gender), task factors (performing task), part of body injured, source of injury, and accident causation. Cramer’s V and Phi coefficient analysis, based on Chi-square, were used to examine the relationships between factors. Accident scenarios were derived from itemization of accident reports. Broad picture of what exists according to how frequently the occurrence from each contributing factor is obtained in this study. Caught in between fatalities mostly occur in age 25 to 34 years old (29.97%). 263 cases (91.6%) of caught in between fatalities did by male worker. The biggest number of fatalities was contributed by workers with experience only 0 < to ≤ 1 years (38%). Worker performed setting up task contributed the highest number in caught in between fatalities (11.8%) followed by repairing operation and routine operation which given (10.8%) each. Head is the mostly part which is injured by caught in between fatalities with 79 cases (27.5%). Accident causation divided into 4 parts, unsafe acts, unsafe machinery and equipment, unsafe environment, and unsafe management. The most frequently unsafe acts are servicing of equipment in operation (18.14%) and taking unsafe position or posture (11.56%). In unsafe machinery and equipment, unsafe environment, and unsafe management, the most frequently are inadequate guard (17.9%), poor floor condition (4.08%), and lack of SOP (4.08%). Significant linkages were found between accident causation for caught in between fatalities and source of injury. Safeguarding prevention measures that can be used to prevent caught in between fatalities are suggested in each type of source of injury. Primary safeguarding, prevents employee contact with the hazard area during operation, avoids creating additional hazards, as secure, tamper-resistant, and durable, and avoids interfering with normal operation of the machine or equipment. Secondary safeguarding is acceptable when primary safeguarding (that prevents from being exposed to machine or equipment hazards) cannot be installed due to reasons of infeasibility. Safeguarding prevention measures are barrier guard, safeguarding devices, awareness means, training and procedures, personal protective equipment.
