Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:30 a.m. on September 22, 2010, Employee #1 was working at an indoor saw mill that specializes in the cutting of logs used for pallet construction. The operation involved the use of a chain-driven conveyor system and required four employees, of which Employee #1 was a part. As Employee #1 was working at the top level of the conveyor that measured 73 inches above the mill's concrete ground floor, he fell to the ground and was knocked unconscious. Employee #1 was taken to a nearby medical facility, where he died due to his injury that included a fractured neck. The accident investigation revealed that there was no guardrail systems installed where Employee #1 was working.
