Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:00 p.m. on September 5, 1989, Employee #1 was preparing to change the saw on an Albany bandsaw head rig. He turned off the power at the operations station, and began to blow down the saw with an approximately 4 ft long air pipe. The saw had not come to a complete stop when the end of the air pipe struck the return portion of the saw. The air pipe was thrust up toward Employee #1, striking him in the face. He suffered massive head injuries and was transported to Mercy Medical Center, where he died a short time later.
