Investigation Summary
Employees of a small sawmill were working around a headsaw and log carriage. Employee #1 was standing about 2 to 3 ft away from an unguarded headsaw. The employer was standing next to Employee #1, and two coworkers were standing on the opposite side of the employer. They had just manually turned a 10 ft log. Supposedly, they were standing between the carriage and log deck talking to each other when one of the coworkers saw Employee #1 walk forward, lose his balance, and fall backward into the approximately 4 ft diameter high-speed headsaw. The saw blade severed Employee #1's body from the mid-thoracic region on one side to the clavicle on the other. He was cut in two pieces.
