Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:30 a.m. on December 16, 2004, Employee #1, an electrical millwright, entered into a log step feeder to adjust the limit switches during a shut down without informing any coworkers. The machine operator reenergized the machine, unaware that Employee #1 had entered the machine. When the step feeder cycled, Employee #1 was struck in the chest and became caught between the framework and the step feeder plate. The machine was shut down and Employee #1 was extricated. After treatment at a local hospital, he was airlifted to OHSU in Portland, where he was hospitalized for a lacerated liver.
