Wood Products Mill Explosion: Death

A Central Oregon man working at a mill in Deschutes County was killed in an explosion while working on a green dryer that malfunctioned. Prosecution of the case included working with industrial and computer engineers to discover the cause of the control system defect that allowed the pressure to build to explosive levels. The case settled after the key engineer for the defendant company admitted that the system was not designed in accordance with correct engineering principles.
