Un supervisor en una operación de tala fue asesinado por un árbol que caía.

La tripulación de tres personas había estado trabajando dentro de un plazo muy ajustado mientras cortaban árboles muertos para ser retirados en helicóptero. El supervisor y la persona que caía en la tripulación estaban impacientes con las regulaciones de seguridad del gobierno que requerían cortar los árboles verdes en el sendero de los árboles muertos o “enganches” que estaban rescatando. El tercer miembro de la tripulación había estado en el trabajo sólo dos semanas y no había recibido capacitación formal. Él era el responsable de sujetar las eslingas a los árboles muertos que iban a ser levantados por el helicóptero.

La peligrosa situación se creó cuando estaban tratando de salvar un gran trozo de cedro y tuvieron que cortar los árboles verdes a su paso. Uno de estos árboles fue cortado incorrectamente y cayó de lado. Colgaba de las ramas del cedro.

A continuación, el equipo trató de cortar ambos árboles a la vez. La pega del cedro cayó, pero el árbol verde más pequeño sólo cayó parcialmente y se colgó de otros tres árboles. La tripulación continuó trabajando a la sombra de este árbol colgado. Los tres eran conscientes del peligro y lo discutieron, pero continuaron trabajando.

El supervisor estaba guiando el helicóptero para recoger el cedro caído cuando el árbol verde colgado se deslizó de repente de su posición, se cayó y lo golpeó en la cabeza.

Los peligros en este sitio de trabajo de tala son más dramáticos que los que muchos de nosotros enfrentamos en nuestros trabajos. Sin embargo, hay algo que aprender sin importar dónde trabaje. La tripulación no pudo eliminar un peligro antes de continuar el trabajo. Estaban mal supervisados y mal entrenados en procedimientos de seguridad. No trabaje en una situación que usted sabe que es peligrosa. Si parece inseguro, probablemente lo sea. Asegúrese de recibir la formación que necesita. Siga las normas de seguridad. Están ahí para protegerte, no para retrasarte.
