Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:00 a.m. on September 12, 1995 at the Boise Cascade plant in St. Helens, OR, a private contractor supervisor was cleaning the inside of an 8 in. valve that was lying on the ground. He was using a mole, a high pressure (8,000 psi) 1 in. flexible steel self-propelled water line normally used to clear pipe. The end (mole) of the line whipped, causing water to lacerate Employee #1's neck and chest. He died immediately at the scene.
