Investigation Summary
Employee #1 had been lifted to a 30 ft high eucalyptus tree limb by a crane operated by his employer. After rigging the limb to the crane, Employee #1 fell to the ground and was killed. He may have fallen while walking 10 to 15 ft along the limb back to the main trunk to hitch-tie into an already crotched climbing line. It is also possible he was tied into the line and cut it with his chain saw while clearing branches from his work area. Information from additional witnesses was not available at the time this report was completed.
