Hi Twigger,

 

If I'm being honest, there has been the rare occasion that I have felt a little vulnerable when out inspecting trees in certain areas, especially when using the tablet, but I always, always let someone know where I'll be and when I'll be back. For me, I find that making myself extra visible (hi-viz, ID badge etc) and being confident in how I speak with people puts me at ease

If I was ever removing trees alone (eg: in domestic gardens when the client was out), I had someone nearby who knew exactly where I was and I would ring them at regular intervals. This is not ideal I know, but my really point is to be in regular contact with someone who knows exactly where you are and when you'll be back.

I take responsibility for my own safety and if I'm not happy with a situation, I don't put myself at risk, no job is worth that. In my personal experience however, it's been the guys who seem to be the target for the majority of any abuse.

 

I hope this is helpful - Sal

Very true what Sal said, i have worked on Glastonbury Tor many times spraying and some tree work at the base and that is one place I have had abuse and I have had a female working with me and it's always been me they have had a go at. Bloody hippies!!
