Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B 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, Cucumber, WV: On October 28, 2022, an employee felled an approximately 85-foot-tall hickory tree located uphill from another approximately 85-foot-tall hickory tree. The hickory tree was felled onto another hickory tree which caused the tree to break off and spring back up the hillside. An evaluation was not conducted, and precautions were not taken by the feller prior to the hickory tree being felled to prevent struck-by hazards from near-by trees.
