Incident on May 21, 2024 (fatal): Employee is struck by felled tree, later dies

At 9:00 a.m. on May 21, 2024, Employee #1 had just finished cutting a felled tree with a portable gas-powered chainsaw and was walking toward the cul-de-sac at the south end of the site to use the porta potty. Meanwhile, the skid steer driver, who was also the company owner, identified the next tree for removal-approximately seventy feet in length. He signaled by honking the skid steer horn three times and watched the area for movement for approximately two minutes. After observing no movement, he felled the tree. The crew then waited several more minutes and felled two smaller trees. At approximately 8:54 a.m., the construction manager for Beazer Homes, LLC arrived at the cul-de-sac and observed a worker lying unresponsive on the asphalt with his feet on the curb and tree brush covering the lower half of his body. Emergency services were called, and the worker was transported via ambulance to the hospital, where he remained in critical condition until Friday, May 24, 2024, when he died from his injuries. The cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head.

29 CFR 1910.1200(a)(2)

(2) This occupational safety and health standard is intended to address comprehensively the issue of classifying the potential hazards of chemicals, and communicating information concerning hazards and appropriate protective measures to employees, and to preempt any legislative or regulatory enactments of a state, or political subdivision of a state, pertaining to this subject. Classifying the potential hazards of chemicals and communicating information concerning hazards and appropriate protective measures to employees, may include, for example, but is not limited to, provisions for: developing and maintaining a written hazard communication program for the workplace, including lists of hazardous chemicals present; labeling of containers of chemicals in the workplace, as well as of containers of chemicals being shipped to other workplaces; preparation and distribution of safety data shee

29 CFR 1910.1200(g)(8)

(8) The employer shall maintain in the workplace copies of the required safety data sheets for each hazardous chemical, and shall ensure that they are readily accessible during each work shift to employees when they are in their work area(s). (Electronic access and other alternatives to maintaining paper copies of the safety data sheets are permitted as long as no barriers to immediate employee access in each workplace are created by such options.)

29 CFR 1910.1200(h)(1)

(h) Employee information and training. (1) Employers shall provide employees with effective information and training on hazardous chemicals in their work area at the time of their initial assignment, and whenever a new chemical hazard the employees have not previously been trained about is introduced into their work area. Information and training may be designed to cover categories of hazards (e.g., flammability, carcinogenicity) or specific chemicals. Chemical-specific information must always be available through labels and safety data sheets.
