Employee's Knee Is Injured in Slip on Floor

At approximately 9:45 a.m. on July 21, 2009, Employee #1 was felling a Douglas Fir tree. Before finishing the back-cut, Employee #1 placed a wedge in the back-cut, which pinched the bar on the chain saw. While freeing the bar, Employee #1 inadvertently cut some of the holding wood. The tree fell sideways and struck another tree. The butt of the tree being felled kicked back and struck Employee #1, causing a fracture that was not specified. He was hospitalized for treatment.
