Narrative

On January 6, 2017, at approximately 6:00 p.m., an employee was injured while working at the cant deck in the resaw area. Standing near four motor driven chains, the employee noted two 6-8 inch cants that were not laying flat. Wearing leather gloves, the employee adjusted the cants when his left thumb became jammed between the chain and one cant, resulting in amputation of the tip of his thumb.
