BBC Risk Survey

[Dom]

Questionnaire from BBC about risk and how we perceive it. It'd be interesting to see if us tree surgery bods are more capable of assessing risks accurately than others due to the nature of our work..

Dom, I would suggest the opposite.

 

Because the nature of our work is very hazardous our perception of risk, because of the levels we find accpetable by virtue of delaing with them on a daily basis, is often flawed. This is also backed up by my frequent observations of arborists undertaking 'risque' practices.

 

Their response is often 'I'm expereinced and have never had an accident' my reply is often 'tis only a matter of time if you carry on that way and no amount of expereince make a chainsaw cut, a crush injury or a fall from height any less painful'.

 

Haven't time to do the thing.

 

Cheers..
