Investigation Summary
On April 11, 2016, Employee #1 was working as part of a crew trimming trees. He was on the ground, manning a rigging rope, and lowering the base end of a limb to the ground. A coworker was positioned in a tree. He was using a chain saw to cut the limb. Two other coworkers were also on the ground. They were helping to control the descent of the brushy end of the limb to the ground as it was cut. The two coworkers on the ground stated that Employee #1 inadvertently positioned himself below the limb. The two coworkers on the ground alerted Employee #1 that he was under the limb. Employee #1 looked up and then released the rope and attempted to run away. The falling limb struck Employee #1. Emergency medical services were called. Employee #1's condition deteriorated while he was being transported to the hospital, and he died in the emergency room.
