General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1910.28(c)(3): When an employee is exposed to falling objects, the employer must ensure that each employee wears head protection that meets the requirements of subpart I of this part. In addition, the employer must protect employees from falling objects by implementing one or more of the following: Barricading the area into which objects could fall, prohibiting employees from entering the barricaded area, and keeping objects far enough from an edge or opening to prevent them from falling to a lower level. (a) On August 30, 2018, at 2062 Yoast Ave, Cincinnati, Ohio a residential home with a 60 foot Silver Maple tree being cut down, the employer did not ensure that the crew leaders on site with two ground employees on the ground and working to fell a 11 ft. section of tree trunk that had already been cut twice, adequately determined that it was safe for one of the ground (trimmer) employees to enter the drop zone. The crew leaders did not provide barricades that prevented employees from entering the drop zone when this section of the tree snapped and fell, striking one of the ground (trimmer) employee in the back.
