Investigation Summary
On May 4, 2004, an employee loaded scrap slabs of wood that had fallen to the floor, onto a conveyor belt running to a wood chipper. The machine became unbalanced because a fan blade fell off. The hood over the chipper wheel began to shake violently and sheared the bolts holding the hood in place. The hood flew off, striking the employee and killing him.
