Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:00 a.m. on May 30, 1991, Employee #1 parked his logging truck/trailer on a landing at the Whitney Timber Sale near French Gulch, CA. The trailer was parked about halfway back across the front of a log deck containing 16 ft long logs that had a minimum diameter of 18 in. While Employee #1 and another driver were standing next to the trailer just ahead of the rear dual wheels, a log rolled off the top of the log deck and struck Employee #1. He was pinched him against the side of the tire before being thrown under the truck. Employee #1 suffered a fractured pelvis and severely bruised upper left thigh. The trucking company was cited for improper training, and the logging company was cited for hazardous decking procedures.
