Investigation Summary
On September 17, 2020, an employee working for a tree removal company was feeding branches into a Bandit Model 250XP trailer type brush chipper. The employee was feeding an approximately 6-foot by 4-inch branch into the chipper. The branch had a bend that caught the employee by the hip and pulled her into the chipper. The employee lacerated to both legs and her pelvic region. The employee sustained severe trauma on the right knee requiring surgical amputation of the leg above the knee. The employee was hospitalized for 14 days.
