Investigation Summary
At 10:45 a.m. on October 3, 2016, an employee was standing in a bucket of a bucket truck sawing a limb off a tree about 55 feet above the ground. The limb was tied to the front of the bucket truck and around a tree crotch. The limb split off and fell onto the bucket before dropping over the right side of the truck boom. It pulled the bucket down and catapulted the employee from the bucket. The employee was not wearing fall protection. The employee was killed
