This article describes our study of 36 male patients who were brought to Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown for treatment of non-fatal logging-related injuries. The type and severity of their injuries is described, as well as the host, vehicular/mechanical and environmental factors contributing to the injuries. The suggestions of the patients on how to prevent their injuries are compared to existing OSHA standards.
