Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a sawmill laborer, was sweeping sawdust out the side door of the chipper room in a sawmill when he misjudged his location and struck his head on the chipper's shaker table (a vibrating table that sifts chips that need to be rechipped.) Employee #1 had a headache and over the weekend went to a local hospital, where it was diagnosed as a concussion. He spent three weeks on workmen's compensation, then returned to work for about a week before being admitted to the hospital. Employee #1 died approximately 48 hours after being admitted to the hospital. Employee #1 was not wearing a hard hat at the time of accident.
