Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and two other workers were to remove and stump out an old tree. The tree had a decayed branch with a concrete-filled cavity. One employee, who was in a cherry picker, made three cuts on the branch with a chain saw in order to remove the concrete. The worker set down the chain saw and the concrete immediately fell to the ground. Employee #1 and the other worker, who were on the ground, moved toward the tree. Employee #1 was struck in the head by the falling concrete and killed.
