Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:30 p.m. on August 23, 1991, Employee #1 was working as a planer feederman for Trinity River Lumber Co. in Weaverville, CA. He reached his left hand under the infeed roll guard of a roll case conveyor to straighten a board that had come down the conveyor at an angle. The board had rolled up on its edge as it neared the planer infeed roll system. Employee #1's fingers were caught in the roll nip point. His left ring finger was amputated at the second joint. The investigation showed that the bottom of the guard was 9 1/2 in. above the bedplate, providing easy access. The employer was cited a serious violation under T8CCR 4318(c) for installing an improperly designed guard.
