Investigation Summary
At 10:30 a.m. on August 9, 1996, Employee #1 was performing ground work during a tree felling operation. The employer was 16 ft up a cedar tree and had a saw wedged in a cut. Employee #1 was across the street retrieving a peavey from a truck. He returned to clear the zone but was in the blind spot of the cutter. A 33 in. diameter by 58 in. long piece of wood broke free, striking Employee #1 on the head and flipping him backward. The log landed on his chest before it rolled off him. He was killed. Employee #1 was the brother of the employer; there was no jurisdiction.
