Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was delivering a tractor trailer load of logs to a sawmill and parked his truck in the unloading area. Two binder chains were securing the logs to the pole-type trailer. Employee #1 removed the rear binder chain first, followed by the front binder chain. As he pulled off the front chain, a large crooked log on top of the load rolled off the trailer on the same side as where he was standing. The log struck Employee #1 on his shoulders and back, knocking him to the ground. He sustained severe internal injuries and was pronounced dead on arrival at a nearby hospital. The load was not secured in any way and the stanchions on the trailer were not high enough to prevent the top log from rolling off once the binder chains were removed.
