Text For Citation: 02 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, were evaluated by the feller but precautions were not taken so a hazard was not created for an employee. On September 4, 2023, precautions were not taken to avoid creating hazards for employees during manual felling of a redwood. Employees were exposed to contact with trees and tree branches, which led to the death of one employee and exposed others to potential serious injury or death from crushing or impact.
