| Summary Nr: 953984 | Event: 10/01/1993 | Employee Killed When Struck By Tree Limb | ||||
| Employee #1 and another employee were working as timber cutters. They had cut a poplar tree approximately 14 inches in diameter. The tree set back on the cut and failed to fall. The cutters called a third employee to bring the bulldozer he was operating and push the tree over. The falling poplar struck the tip of a limb from a small tree that stood approximately 5 feet from the two timber cutters. This limb fell, striking Employee #1 on the head and inflicting fatal injuries. Both timber cutters were wearing necessary safety equipment including hard hats. | ||||||
