General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to free falling tree limbs: a) 11 West Possum Hollow Rd. - On 6/27/96 an employee who was removing twigs under a tree being trimmed was killed when a tree limb that was cut and allowed to drop struck him in the head. ABATEMENT NOTE: Among others, one feasible means of abatement to correct this hazard is to lower all cut limbs by means of rope. The climber also should have his ground people in sight before cutting to ensure that employees are out of the way of falling limbs.g
