Narrative

On June 13, 2018, an employee was clearing debris away from the photoelectric eyes on a conveyor that housed a kicker that moved logs. The machine engaged when the debris was moved which caused the kicker to cycle. The employee's right foot was crushed by the kicker resulting in the partial surgical amputation of two toes.
