Employee's toes and foot broken by falling log loader mast

At approximately 9:15 a.m. on September 16, 1992, Employee #1 was removing brass bushings from a log loader mast that was to be loaded onto a trailer for shipment. The mast was being held approximately 8 in. off the ground by wooden blocks. A forklift's forks struck the mast, causing it to slip from the blocks. The mast, weighing between 3,000 and 4,000 lb and 20 ft long, landed on Employee #1's right foot and toes. He was transported to a local hospital for treatment, then to Washoe Medical Center in Reno, where he was admitted for treatment and hospitalized for three days.
