Employee injured when struck by log

Employee #1, a "whistle punk" signal operator for a yarding crew, was working the haulback line. He was between 120 and 180 ft from where logs were being moved out of a ravine when he was struck by a log. He suffered fractured ribs, a fractured back, and head and neck injuries. The accident was caused by hazardous working conditions and Employee #1's apparent misjudgment of the situation. He had seven years of experience with the employer.
