How do you help reduce risk in the nation's <a href= "https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/cfoi.pdf">most dangerous occupation</a>? Researchers at Oregon State University are partnering with <a href="http://www.blount.com/">Blount International</a> to help make timber harvesting equipment safer. To understand a specific type of accident that occurs in the field, they’ve designed and built a machine to recreate it in the safety of a shipping container.
