  • A Laborer Dies When He Is Pulled Into a Tree Stump Grinder Case Report: 18CA002
    California Department of Public Health Occupational Health Branch FATALITY ASSESSMENT AND CONTROL EVALUATION PROGRAM (CA/FACE) A Laborer Dies When He is Pulled into a Tree Stump Grinder Case Report: 18CA002 SUMMARY A laborer working for a landscaping company died when he was pulled into a tree stump grinder. The victim was helping the landscaping company owner (stump grinder operator) guide the machine by pulling on a rope tied around his waist and attached to the stump grinder. The rope caught in the stump grinder’s grinding wheel and pulled the victim into its rotating motion. The CA/FACE investigator determined that, in order to prevent similar future incidents, landscaping companies should: • Ensure that workers who operate stump grinders are trained on and consistently follow safety policies and procedures. In addition, • Homeowners who need tree stumps removed should only hire landscapers who are certified by organizations such as the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) or the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). INTRODUCTION On April 9, 2018, at approximately 11:30 a.m., a 66-year-old Hispanic male laborer suffered fatal injuries while assisting a landscaping company owner who was operating a stump grinder. The CA/FACE investigator received notification of this incident on April 17, 2018, from the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) Weekly Fatality Report. On April 30, 2018, contact was made with the owner who was involved in this incident. On May 10, 2018, the CA/FACE investigator and an industrial hygienist traveled to the incident scene and interviewed neighbors across the street from the incident site who had witnessed the event.
