A 39-year-old tree trimmer was killed when the mechanical arm supporting the bucket of an aerial lift suddenly collapsed, striking the cab of the truck and ejecting the worker onto the pavement. As a result of the fatality, OSHA cited Advanced Tree Service for five safety violations. OSHA issued one willful citation for the employers failure to ensure the worker in the aerial lift had a body belt with a lanyard attached to the boom or the basket. They were also cited the company for allowing workers to use chain saws without eye protection and for not ensuring that employees working in an area where tree limbs were cut wore head protection.
