Abstract: Employee #1 was working underneath a manufactured home, painting lines for setup along the bottom. The two halves of the home were 4 ft apart when a chain motor drive was actuated that pulled one unit into the other. The chain drive was used with a series of chains to pull the homes along a final finish line. The chains were normally unhooked after each use; in this case, either the chain became accidentally entangled in the drive chain or Employee #1 forgot to unhook it. He was crushed between the two home units and suffered multiple internal injuries, from which he died.
