Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.266(h)(2)(vi): For each tree that was to be felled the backcut did not include sufficient hingewood to hold the tree to the stump during most of its fall so that the hinge was able to guide the tree's fall in the intended direction: (a) Kerless Knob, Richwood WV: A 19 inch diameter tree was cut without leaving hingewood. The tree remained on the stump after the backcut was made and shortly after fell sideways, away from the notch cut, and struck the feller approximately 10 feet away, as determined on April 8, 2013. (b) Kerless Knob, Richwood, WV: The feller was cutting trees without leaving any hingewood to keep the tree attached to the stump to guide its fall in the direction of the notch cut as evidenced by approximately nine tree stumps observed in the immediate area of where the feller last operated, as determined on April 8, 2013.
