Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:15 a.m. on June, 14, 2011, an employee working as a tree trimmer was working in a backyard of a residential home trimming trees. The tree trimmer was positioned between 10 to 12 feet up the tree. Using a chainsaw, the tree trimmer made a couple of cuts and was in the process of cutting a three inch limb. However, the trimmer notched the top of the tree and then undercut the branch. The tree trimmer was struck in the left armpit. The tree trimmer propelled himself down the tree until he went limp about three feet from the ground. Emergency personnel were summoned, and the paramedics performed CPR.
