| Employees were conducting routine maintenance for corrosion control/rust prevention cleaning of a wellhead.

The 2,000-pound tree then fell on top of the injured employee, crushing the employee's torso. The employee experienced difficulty breathing and possible internal, minor bleeding and bruising. | |||||
