| Summary Nr: 68231.015 | Event: 09/24/2014 | Employee Falls From Aerial Lift And Is Killed | ||||
| At 3:00 p.m. on September 24, 2014, an employee was trying to fell a tree that was in the way of power lines. The employee was in the bucket of a bucket truck lift approximately 40 feet high, engaged in knocking down a tree (felling a tree) that was close to the power lines. The employee had already made the back cut on the tree. After he made the bed cut he yelled "headache" which meant the tree was coming down. The employee was working with one other person as a two-man-crew. The foreman on site was located deeper into the wooded area, working with the ropes and come alongs that were attached to two different trees. The foreman did not see the employee fall. However, he discovered the employee's body when he came out of the wooded area. The employee fell from the aerial lift and was killed. | ||||||
