Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was a contract log hauler and was working alone. Employee #1 left his home at approximately 7:00 p.m. on June 23, 2003, to pick up and deliver logs. Some time during the night Employee #1 had hauled approximately 3 loads of logs and unloaded them at the yard. It appears as if Employee #1 was standing in front of the stack of logs he just unloaded. The stack was approximately 8 ft high by 25 ft long. The logs were a mixture of hardwoods. Employee #1 was marking a log which identified who the logs belonged and how much it cost to haul the logs when several logs rolled off the stack and struck Employee #1 killing him.
