Investigation Summary

On November 19, 2009, Employee #1 was trying to clear a board from the lumber transfer deck. He was struck by another board that had the pressure of the transfer deck operating chains on it. He was hit in the left upper arm, resulting in a fracture, and his arm pit contacted a narrow metal edge, resulting in damage to the artery in that arm. He was given medical treatment at the location and was transported to the hospital. He was later transferred to a vascular intensive care unit for evaluation and treatment.
