Employee's pelvis fractured in fall from elevated walkway

Employee #1, a chipper operator for Trinity River Lumber, which operates a sawmill, was kneeling on an elevated walkway along a conveyor belt helping to clear a plugged conveyor below the elevated conveyor. She was under a roof edge that covers the end of the elevated conveyor and the main conveyor system it empties into. A coworker on the lower conveyor pulled on a board that was plugging the two conveyors. The board broke and slipped sideways, striking Employee #1 and pushing her to the side and off the walkway. Employee #1 fell 15 ft to the ground and was hospitalized with a fractured pelvis.
