I don't know about industrial accidents with a cold press, but crushing(juicing) people to death has been a thing for millenias.

When I got COVID, I was periodically checking my oxi because that was the only thing I was worried about.
I noticed the tightness in my chest and sore muscles made it so I was taking less deep of breaths and my oxygen level was lower than it normally was by a few points. It really dawned on me how easy it would be for someone with weak lungs, less active, etc. to dip into a concerning level that spirals down.
Two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Also a jumbo pack of toilet paper.
Necco wafers.
Horse pâte anyone?
Same, not a fan.
What is annoying is I am working on a dipping sauce and it needs thickening and toning the flavor down, mayo is the right answer but I don't want to.
Eat.
In this situation I would imagine him tapping OP on the shoulder or worse.
Humanity is already dead. Allowing him the chance to get to HR first to complain means you are going to be on the wrong side of things.
We don't know his mental state or what he may do if rejected.
Without knowing more about the situation, the best response is impossible to determine.
Are they fixated on you because they think you have social needs?
Has everybody else told them off because he is annoying and by not telling him off you are granting some degree of (passive) acceptance that he is needing?
Is he romantically interested in you?
"Look man, I just have no interest in having work friends. I am here to do my job and go home. You are distracting me from doing my job and I don't appreciate that." Or whatever.
Going to HR may be the smart move to avoid him going to HR about you not being friendly or a team player or whatever nonsense if you professionally tell him off. I wouldn't tell HR you are being harassed, just tell them that he is distracting you from work and don't appreciate it. If he continues after HR talks with him, then tell HR you feel harassed.
You going to HR can also take place of talking to him yourself. You talk to HR and ask them to tell him to let you work, they talk to him so you don't have to try and navigate his bullshit and you get the issue noted to support your side of things.
Make life so expensive that having a kid is financially inviable and then carelessly release chemicals into the environment that causes low fertility or sterility.
