Investigation Summary
At 8:35 a.m. on April 14, 2017, an employee was working from a six foot A-frame ladder using a chainsaw on a new residential home. The employee was using the chainsaw over his head to cut a hole on the top of the ceiling on the first floor to install a return from the basement to the second floor for heat and air conditioning. The employee called out to coworkers for assistance and, when found, his coworkers attempted to provide first aid for a cut that sliced through his jugular vein on the left side of his neck. Emergency Services was contacted and transported the employee to the hospital where the employee was pronounced dead.
