Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 171017023

Event: 03/22/1995

Employee injured when struck by tree limbs

Employee #1, of Grants Pass School District, Grants Pass, OR, was removing a fallen elm tree from a high school parking lot using an International tractor with an attached front end loader. As he picked up the tree and raised it over a NO PARKING sign, the tree started to slide back toward the employee. He then adjusted the bucket to prevent the tree from sliding further. The tree broke free at the base and rotated toward Employee #1. The limbs of the tree struck him in the upper torso and head. He was able to stop the tractor and extricate himself. Two eyewitnesses administered first aid and called 911. Employee #1 fractured the spur of a neck vertebra and bruised his shoulder and stomach area. He was hospitalized.
