Abstract: On January 2, 2008, Employee #1 was working on the Number 12 harvester platform when the harvester chain caught his shirt and pulled his arm in between the bin and the harvester. Employee #2 pulled the emergency stop, which was within Employee #1's grasp. Employee #2 provided first-aid and the foreman called the office; the office staff called 911 and directed emergency services to the scene. Employee #1 was hospitalized. The Employer has since added an additional guard to all harvesters; this was the first accident of this kind with this type of harvester.
