Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:00 a.m. on April 14, 2008, Employee #1 was standing next to a bolster trailer almost fully loaded with logs. Employee #1 was preparing to trim the logs on the trailer with a pole saw. A coworker, the operator of a Knuckleboom Hydraulic Log Loader, was positioning the last log onto the trailer. The loaded logs created a blind spot on the opposite side of the trailer for the operator. As the 35 ft long log swung onto the trailer, the side of the log struck Employee #1 in the chest. Employee #1 was killed.
