The trailer's outside tires dropped off the pavement, causing the trailer to tip. As the trailer tipped over, the straps holding the logs broke. The employee, standing approximately 20 feet away, began running and was struck by the rolling logs, suffering multiple fractures to the face, hip, pelvis, neck, and back. The employee was hospitalized.
An employee was connecting a dolly to a trailer. The equipment rolled away, causing the employee's left index finger to be crushed between the trailer and the dolly. The employee sustained amputation of the fingertip.
