Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:30 a.m. on April 1, 1991, Employee #1 was on a sawmill construction crew that was removing the kicker arm shaft from the #2 chop saw conveyor. The shaft was supported by a P and H hydrocrane at its west end, and secured with a 1 1/2-ton come-along. The kicker arms secured it in a vertical position and Employee #1 had cut the nuts off the bolts at each bracket. As the crew started to lower the shaft, it became caught on one of the bolts on the east end. Employee #1 climbed over the catwalk guardrail, lay down on the edge of the slope chute, and hit the bolt to knock it loose. This caused the east end of the shaft to drop and the east kicker arm to come down on him, pinning him against the edge of the slope chute. Employee #1 was transported to Mendocino Coast Hospital for treatment of his injuries.
