Abstract: An inadequately trained employee of a tree service firm was operating a wood chipper during a tree trimming operation. The chipper was only 3 months old and was equipped with an operating bar on both sides and top but no stop control. Additionally, the in-feed rollers were not guarded. While feeding material into the chipper, the employee was apparently caught in the in-feed rollers and was pulled into the chipper and killed.
