## Narrative

An employee was helping to load a container with logs. The logs are picked up with a knuckle boom loader and placed onto racks for temporary storage. The racks are then pushed into 40-foot containers with a front-end loader. Jockey trucks are used to position the containers at/in the loading area. The injured employee was standing in the loading area helping to load a container with logs when a 19-foot log from the knuckle boom loader fell onto the employee resulting in a broken facial bone, a broken femur and a cracked right hip joint.
