Tree trimming is a job that requires a professional attitude and a high level of training in order to work safely and productively. The very nature of tree trimming lends itself to many hazards. Of course, we all are aware of the potential of a serious fall, but there are also risks of coming in contact with energized utilities, falling trees and limbs, contact with poison ivy, oak or even snakes. High noise levels and contact with high-speed equipment such as grinders, chippers and of course, chainsaws, also pose a hazard.
This program discusses the safety precautions and maintenance procedures workers must follow to avoid injuries during tree trimming operations. Topics include:
- Pre-job planning
- PPE
- Maintaining tools and equipment
- Safe use of boom trucks, aerial baskets and ladders
- Safe chainsaw use
