Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was inspecting a Hydro-Ax logging machine, which had recently undergone welding repairs to its frame, to check why the claw arm of the feller-buncher shear attachment would not close. He stepped inside the swing radius of the claw arm and then requested that a coworker activate the switch again because it had closed only halfway the first time. This time the claw arm closed immediately, crushing Employee #1's head. He was killed.
