[jaime bray]

What would be your top 20-25 tips for tree workers?

 

Things like;

 

Watch out for london plane in the summer.

Watch out for Ash with innotus hispidus.

Just because the chainsaw has stopped it doesnt mean that branches will not be falling still.

Always put a stopper not in the end of your rope.

One handed chainsaw use can often be minimised by better positioning.

Be wary of Laurel chippings and the chemicals released. Arsenic?

Never under estimate what the public will do when within the vicinity of a work site.
