Investigation Summary
At 1:00 p.m. on May 28, 2021, Employee #1, a tree climber, was aloft approximately 15 feet in a tree at a residential site, preparing to continue trimming operations. His climbing rope, which was orange and white striped and measured over 40 feet, was accidentally placed into a Vermeer brush chipper (Model BC1500) by a groundman. As the chipper pulled the rope, Employee #1 was drawn tightly against the tree trunk. He sustained trauma to his right knee and left wrist. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
