Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.266(h)(2)(ii): Before each tree is felled, conditions such as, but not limited to, snow and ice accumulation, the wind, the lean of tree, dead limbs, and the location of other trees, was not evaluated by the feller and precautions taken so a hazard is not created for an employee: (a) Logging Site, Bolair, WV: On June 27, 2019, an employee felled a 24 inch diameter 75 foot tall cherry tree that was approximately 30 feet from a beech tree. The top section of the beech tree, approximately 30 to 35 feet in length, broke off after the cherry tree was felled. An evaluation was not conducted and precautions were not taken by the feller prior to the cherry tree being felled to prevent struck-by hazards from adjacent trees.
