Howdy to all, Recently a tee company in QLD Australia had one of its crews out on a job to remove an iron bark which was about
40 mtrs tall . Now the problem seemed to arise when after the tree was taken down and only the trunk remained the crew split.
two guys throwning logs over the fence whilst one guy took them to chip when after about 5 minutes they agreed that something seemed amiss as there was no chipping going on. when only to find when they had jumped the fence it was then they relised there mate was buried in logs upto 12inches.....
Apparently the fist one knocked old mate out and proceeded to bury him... he survived with fractured skull, cracked sternem.
broken arm,foot and hand..multiple bruised as you could imagine..
seems that if communication was in affect this may have been avoided. its always dissapointing to hear of injury or death in this industry we live in but prevention is always better than cure.
