Investigation Summary
At about 9:45 p.m. on March 11, 2005, Employee #1, a millwright with Harwood Products, was walking along a walkway adjacent to an idle stacker conveyor belt. When he stumbled and lost his balance, he attempted to catch himself. At the same time, an equipment operator also lost his footing as he was moving lumber. This operator contacted the guarded, foot-operated switch controlling the conveyor belt. Just as Employee #1 placed his foot on belt, it began moving, causing him to fall. The conveyor belt was stopped quickly; however, Employee #1's leg became pinned in the conveyor frame at the end-drum return area. He was hospitalized for a fractured left femur.
