The first and, hopefully the last, tree worker has died this year in Florida. What a way to ring in the new year! This worker pushed his foot into the feed shoot trying to free a jammed branch. The worker slipped and ended up going through the unit up to his abdomin. First off you might think that this type of accident could only happen with a small company with no formal training program our culture to make the program a success. Wrong, this person was employed by a large reputable firm.
Lets ALL work together to prevent this type of accident from happening again this year, if for no other reason than for this persons family and co-workers.
Have a SAFE 1999!
