Scarring Logging Accidents Loggers, or lumberjacks, fell and trim trees and then load the logs for transport to a mill.
Loggers face a variety of work-related hazards.
They are required to life, push, pull and carry heavy logs. This increases the risk of suffering a work-related neck and back injuries . In addition, trees and logs fall, roll, and slide. This increases the risk of being struck by a log or tree. Loggers also work on uneven, rough, or unstable terrain, which may be wet due to rain or snow.
