Employee's Arm Is Injured When Caught in Machinery

At approximately 5:30 p.m. on February 21, 2006, Employee #1, a green chain operator with Umpqua Lumber Co., was sorting 8 ft and 9 ft lumber to the unscramblers/stackers. When some pieces of lumber became crossed up on the camel back conveyor, he crossed over a bridge to a nearby platform to correct the problem. As he leaned over the edge of the conveyor, his t-shirt became caught by a 3-in.-diameter smooth shaft that extended out approximately 3 in. from the table. Employee #1 was twisted and turned on the shaft before nearby employees shut the conveyor off. He was hospitalized for multiple fractures to his right arm.
