Tree Care Operations

OSHA

Tree care operations, such as tree trimming and tree removal, can expose employees to a number of serious hazards. The dangers include falling from trees; being hit by falling trees or branches, flying objects or vehicular traffic; being cut by highspeed saws; being pulled into chippers; and coming into contact with energized power lines. These dangers are often associated with tree trimming and removal operations and related tasks; therefore, these operations are some of the key areas on which OSHA is focusing this Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
