Abstract: At approximately 7:00 a.m. on May 2, 2008, Employee #1 and Employee #2, a rigging crew of Riverside Logging Incorporated, were presetting the logs to be gathered. They had already set three or four turns that morning. Employee #1, the Choker Setter, was setting logs approximately 20 ft from the closet log set, attached to a drop line. Employee #2, the Rigging Slinger, had hooked the previously set chokers to the engine. Employee #2 communicated to Employee #1 that he was ready to go ahead on the turn. Employee #1 acknowledged the communication and gave his permission to proceed. Employee #2 ran the carriage ahead and signaled to Employee #1 to pick-up the drop line. As the turn pivoted, a log closet to Employee #1 struck his right arm. He was transported to the hospital and admitted for surgery for a fractured bone.
