Investigation Summary
At about 7:00 a.m. on September 9, 1993, Employee #1 was completing a belt adjustment on a 50 horsepower electric saw motor when the motor carriage contacted an energized limit switch that activated a pneumatic ram. The saw carriage moved 2 inches, striking Employee #1 on the right side of his chest and pinning him between the saw motor and the ranges of a structural I-beam in 8 3/4 inches of space. The I-beam contacted Employee #1 on the left side of his chest. The resulting injuries were fatal. The accident was apparently caused by a lockout/tagout procedure failure.
