NAICS industry code: 113310

On July 18, 2025, at approximately 1:09 PM, an employee was moving a trailer-mounted de-limber. He set his ground saw on the de-limber trailer and then got off the loader and stood to the side of the ground saw. A grapple skidder was raising the trailer slightly so he could throw the chain under the trailer to secure the ground saw. He then turned around and the ground saw slid off the trailer and struck his back. The employee was hospitalized with four fractured vertebrae.
