Abstract: Employee #1 was fatally injured when he was pulled into the chain and sprocket assembly of the un-scrambler in the planer area of the saw mill. Employee #1 entered the area under the un-scrambler to reposition the chain back onto the sprocket. The un-scrambler was not de-energized prior to Employee #1 entering the work area. The foot pedal was somehow activated, causing the chains to advance and pull Employee #1's head and shoulders into the area. Employee #1 was killed.
