Abstract: At 12:00 noon on August 15, 2002, Employee #1 was on the side of a hill, cutting the branches off a tree trunk that was 14 inches in diameter and 4 feet long, when, thinking that the log could not move, he took the rope off the trunk before clearing all the branches. The rope was tangling and Employee #1 was trying to loosen it, when his foot got stuck under the log. The log started rolling, causing Employee #1 to fall down the hill. He sustained bruises on his left leg and had neck and back pain. Employee #1 had been working with this company for 2 weeks, but he had 10 years experience doing the same job.
