Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:30 p.m. on November 5, 2009, Employee #1 was using a chop saw with a 60-inch blade to trim logs. The four belts that drive the saw shed one of the belts. Employee #1 stopped the saw and belts, climbed in behind the metal cage/guard, and tried to place the belt back on the pulley. He slipped, struck his head on the stationary saw blade, and fell 5 feet onto an active conveyor, which took him toward the chipper. Employee #1 scrambled from the conveyor and returned to the operator's station. He called the mill manager for medical assistance. He was hospitalized for treatment.
