Investigation Summary
An employee was performing line-clearance tree trimming. He climbed to a working height and fastened his safety line to a crotch. When he climbed higher to reach a limb, his safety line lifted out of the crotch. As he leaned out to begin his cut, the safety line slipped out of the crotch, and the employee fell from the tree. He suffered a fracture to the L1-3 vertebra and was hospitalized for 9 days.
