'Near miss' event after
failure to turn off feeder
AN ELECTRICIAN working at a sawmill in
Chipman, N.B., failed to disengage a power sup-
ply, causing a delivery driver to take evasive action
to avoid a serious accident.
Nicholas Carrier had worked at the Grand
Lake Timber planer mill since 2012, but on July
13, 2017, he was called to look at an outside feeder
deck for wood that wasn't operating properly.
While Carrier was under the deck, a loader car-
rying wood to be fed into the plant arrived, back-
ing up to the feeder deck.
The loader operator noticed the feeder had
begun to operate when he approached, and he
also noticed Carrier was beneath the feeder, so
he quickly stopped his vehicle. He angrily ap-
proached Carrier to ask about his behaviour.
