Tree Trimming Safety

Tree trimmers encounter heights, slippery conditions, falling limbs, sharp equipment, and electrical wires. Each year, tree care injuries account for about 80 worker deaths and at least 23,000 chainsaw injuries across the U.S. While landscape service workers comprise less than 1% of the total workforce, they account for about 3.5% of all workplace fatalities. Fortunately, these injuries and deaths are preventable when employers provide proper training and follow the tips put out by TDI “Texas Department Of Insurance”.
