Investigation Summary
On December 17, 2008, Employee #1, who worked at a sawmill as a clean-up person, fractured and amputated his right lower arm when his sweat shirt got caught in a chain puller on a planer machine. Employee #1 did not stop or lock out the planer when he entered the area below the planer. Employee #1 went under the planer to clean debris when his sweat shirt got caught by a moving chain on the main drive shaft to the planer. As the sweat shirt started to wrap around the rotating shaft, Employee #1 was able to get his left arm free of the sweat shirt, but his right lower arm was fractured and amputated by the turning shaft.
