Investigation Summary
At 1:50 p.m. on February 27, 2020, an employee was working as a foreman for a tree care contractor felling a 13-inch in diameter tree in a remote, wooded area. The crew proceeded to take down the tree without cutting a hinge or securing the tree with a rope. As a result, the falling tree struck the employee, lacerating his liver and requiring hospitalization.
