Investigation Summary
On June 20, 2001, Employee #1, the foreman, and two other employees, a laborer and a water truck driver, were trimming tree limbs. Employee #1 was using a chain saw. Since some of the cut limbs were large and cumbersome, Employee #1 hooked up a chain from the water truck to the tree limbs and was having them dragged away. As they were being dragged, several tree limbs caught a guy attached to a 35-foot utility pole. The pole toppled over and onto Employee #1's head. Employee #1 was hospitalized with a fractured shoulder. Employee #1 was wearing a hard hat.
