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 crushing injuries and fractures due to being struck by moving trees. Among other methods one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to train employees and to re-emphasize the need not to move a skidder with trees attached, skid, wench-in or otherwise operate moveable elements close to or over personnel. In the woods, T12-R15, off Nine Mile Road-On or about 07/09/90, an employee was fatally injured after being struck by a moving tree. The tree was attached by cable to a skidder as the skidder was being moved near the employee.
