Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:25 a.m. on November 19, 2009, Employee #1, an arborist with 20 years of experience, donned his safety gear and ascended the tree to begin cutting the limbs, using a chain saw. His three coworkers started hauling the branches to the chipper that was located 40 feet away. One of the coworkers saw Employee #1 ascending to the next section of the tree and heard a scuffling sound. Employee #1 yelled, but by the time the coworker turned to see what had happened, Employee #1 hit the ground at the base of the tree. Employee #1 had been wearing a saddle harness and using a buck strap while performing the cutting procedures. However, he removed the buck strap to ascend to the next section of the tree, and that is when he fell. He died at the site.
