Investigation Summary
During production downtime, Employee 1 was working in a sawmill with other employees to put cants (logs with the edges cut off) that fell back on to the Headrig outfeed roll case. Employee #1 took a shortcut over the roll case to get back his work station. As he did this, the supervisor removed his lockout device, not knowing Employee #1 was in danger, and energized the roll case. A 10 in. cant struck Employee #1 on the lower left leg. Employee #1 suffered a fracture in his lower left leg and was hospitalized. The employee was normally assigned as a trap operator but was assigned this task by a supervisor because the Headrig was down.
