Abstract: On July 7, 1992, Employee #1, a puller on the outfeed side of an edger for Harwood Products Sawmill in Branscomb, CA, had taken his break and was taking water to a coworker who was working on the green chain, located near the break room. On his way back, Employee #1 stopped in his work area to straighten out the boards of a 2 by 8 unit of lumber. At the same time, a straddle buggy was coming into the area to pick up a 2 by 4 unit of lumber located next to the 2 by 8 unit. As the straddle buggy moved over the unit, the operator looked down through a hole in the floor board to watch the unit. Employee #1 stepped in front of the straddle buggy and was struck by its right front tire. He was hospitalized with a fractured leg.
