Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a supervisor, and a coworker were trying to clear a blockage in a pulp feed line in a paper mill. Employee #1 climbed out onto a single scaffold board that had been laid across a handrail and another pipe. When he opened an inspection plug in a pulp feed line to try to find the blockage, pressurized air shot out of the opening. The board broke in half and Employee #1 fell approximately 20 feet to the ground, landing on his shoulder and head. He was killed.
