Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a planer feeder for P & M Cedar Products, Inc., was attempting to pull back the hold-over wheel to clear a jam at the infeed of a planer. The hold-over wheel pushes a board to one side of the infeed conveyor. The infeed has to run in order for a jam to be cleared. Employee #1, who is shorter and lighter than the other operators, had to pull on the hold-over wheel to release the tension. As a result, Employee #1 slipped and when she reached out to regain her balance, her hand missed the frame of the machine and her left arm entered the feed roll. Employee #1's elbow was fractured. She was transported by ambulance to Mercy Medical Center in Mount Shasta, CA.
