Employee Is Killed by Conveyor

On November 22, 2006, Employee #1 was using a broom handle to remove a jam of scrap on a conveyor. The saw operator attempted to advance the saw stock feed chain conveyor, but the conveyor did not advance. Employee #1 was found caught between the horizontal rotating shaft that drives the chain feed conveyor and the saw frame. His jacket may have become caught on a screw or bolt that connected the two sections of the unguarded horizontal shaft. Employee #1 had died from blunt force trauma and internal injuries.
