摘要

On October 22, 1991, a 44-year-old male faller/bucker (the victim) was killed after the log he was bucking pivoted and crushed him against a previously felled tree. On October 24, 1991, officials of the Alaska Department of Occupational Safety and Health (AKOSH) notified the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) , Division of Safety Research (DSR) , Alaska Activity of the death. On November 19, 1991, a safety specialist from the DSR Alaska Activity traveled to the logging area near the incident site and conducted an investigation. (The exact incident site was not accessible at the time of the on-site investigation.) The incident was reviewed with company representatives and the AKOSH compliance officer assigned to this case.
