Investigation Summary
At approximately 4:20 p.m. on January 7, 1991, Employee #1, a crew leader of the logging crew, pulled up to the loading operation. He observed the operation from the upper platform of a knuckleboom loader while it was being operated by another employee. Employee #1 was not wearing a hard hat. Apparently, Employee #1 climbed down from the upper platform by the cab to the frame on which the loader is mounted. The loader's operator swung the loader boom in a counter-clockwise direction to place the boom in the cradle. The leading rear corner of the knuckleboom loader turntable, extending 30 inches beyond the front of the loader platform, struck Employee #1 in the head, crushing his skull. He died.
