OSHA Hazard Bulletin Details Tree-Trimming Hazards and Safety Measures
OSHA has issued a bulletin about the hazards of tree-care work, focusing on preventing worker fatalities from falls and falling objects.
“Too many tree-care workers are being hurt or killed by well-known industry dangers that can be prevented if employers take the necessary precautions,” OSHA Administrator Dr. David Michaels said. “Employers have a responsibility to ensure workers are protected on the job – this includes providing training and making sure workers have the right tools to stay safe.”
