Investigation Summary
Employee #1, the foreman of a two-man crew that was cutting down a cedar tree at a private residence in Lafayette, was climbing the tree and cutting the branches with his own gas-powered chain saw while a groundsman was feeding the brush chipper. Employee #1 was about 25 feet up in the tree when he was cut in the neck with the chain saw. The groundsman noticed that Employee #1 had stopped cutting and was slumped forward and hanging by his rope. He was killed.
