Abstract: On July 7, 1994, Employee #1, a laborer for Sierra Pacific Industries, was working in a sawmill log deck (cold deck). Employee #1 was in the process of placing a sprinkler on top of the log deck to spread water on the decked logs in order to maintain the logs' moisture content.

While Employee #1 was pulling on a sprinkler pipe, the log rolled onto his leg fracturing his right femur.
