Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 565218

Event: 03/08/1994

Employee killed when caught in head saw

Employee #1, a sawyer, was straddling the saw blade and sitting on a block while hand filing a head saw from the off side. The saw was belt driven by a 290 Cummins engine. An engaging lever had been de-energized from the engine, but the engine remained in idle. Coworkers were cleaning up while waiting for him. When one shoveled sawdust into a dust box, the shovel contacted the engaging lever, which re-engaged the saw, killing Employee #1. A lockout program did not exist.
