Investigation Summary
At 2:00 p.m. on November 15, 2016, an employee was repairing the roller chain that drove the log cradle carrier for their saw mill and went to the shop for a repair link. When the employee returned to finish the repairs, he did not inform his coworker of his return. The coworker activated the cradle to load a log onto the carriage and crushed the employee between the log cradle carrier and the machine casing.
