Investigation Summary
On August 1, 2003, Employee #1 and four coworkers were tasked to process 20 cants, log slabbed, into 2-ft by 6-ft boards. The crew was on the last cant when a 2-ft by 6-ft board was kicked back out of the infeed of the gang saw, bending one of the anti-kickbacks and leaving an opening of approximately 5 in. One of the 2-ft by 6-ft board came through the opening and flew back approximately 42 ft and struck Employee #1 on his right arm and abdominal area. Employee #1 was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead two days later from an infection to his small intestine and damage to his liver.
