Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and two coworkers, including the company owner, were using a wood chipper that became jammed as they were working. They cleared the jam and then opened a debris door while running the machine to clear out residual matter at the bottom of the machine. Before the revolving wheel with knives had stopped turning, Employee #1 shut the debris door. The door contacted a revolving knife and sprung open forcefully, striking him in the head. Employee #1 was killed.
