Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:30 a.m. on September 14, 2009, Employee #1, of L H Woods & Sons Incorporated, was working with a coworker and were adjusting nylon straps that were being used as a sling to hoist a tree out of the ground. A Caterpillar TL 1255 Telehandler was being used to lift the tree. The tree suddenly broke free of its root ball. It recoiled, which caused the boom of the Telehandler to bounce and dislodge the fork attachments. They had not been locked into place with the coupling mechanism. As a result, the forks dropped from the Telehandler and the tree fell to the ground, striking Employee #1 in the back. He was transported to the hospital for treatment of four fractured ribs he suffered from this incident.
