Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was struck by a falling pine tree that had been cut by another log cutter. The tree had lodged against another tree, and Employee #1 did not know it had been cut because the other cutter had failed to mark the tree with a red flag to identify it as a lodged tree. Employee #1 walked into the radius of the lodged tree and began cutting limbs from a felled tree without noticing the lodged tree. ANSI 03.1-78 requires marking a tree that becomes lodged and keeping the area clear until the tree is on the ground. Employee #1 died from his injuries.
