While felling a beech tree in Klaus an der Pyhrnbahn, a tree slipped and took a 38-year-old forest worker with it. The first responder was a colleague who drove the seriously injured man to the valley, where he was picked up by the rescue team. On Thursday, two more industrial accidents led to injuries.
The 38-year-old from Spital am Pyhrn was seriously injured on Thursday afternoon during woodwork. While felling a beech tree in the Klaus an der Pyhrnbahn, a tree slipped on the steep terrain and took the worker with it. A colleague took him by car to the valley, where he was picked up by the rescue team and taken to the Pyhrn-Eisenwurzen Klinikum Steyr.
Caught in the press with your hand
Unfortunately, this was not the only industrial accident in Upper Austria on Thursday. That morning, around 8:30 a.m., a worker (30) from Ohlsdorf was flown to the UKH in Linz with serious injuries. The man wanted to pull a workpiece out of an open press when it suddenly closed automatically and trapped the worker’s left hand. A colleague immediately activated the emergency switch to open the press.
Injured by conveyor screw
And almost at the same time, a 23-year-old from Altheim grabbed a rotating conveyor screw. The man was injured in his right hand and was taken to the Braunau hospital.
