I can only go back to the late 70s, in my experience and I worked for one of the biggest tree firms in Bedfordshire , ear muffs were only worn around the mid 80s, no leggings/helmet etc. Most lads came from a farming background and had been using saws from their teens. It wasn't until the late nineties that I had to go on numerous courses for strimmers/chainsaws/mowers , first aid because without the tickets I couldn't quote for work for british waterways. On one course for working at heights, the guy said we musnt use ladders when cutting hedges, it must always be with a cherry picker, when I said you cant get a picker through a 3ft gate, then what? he said I don't know the answer. ?????

It wasn't long ago 70s /80s when we didn't wear any ppe including the basics ear muffs,gloves,helmet, and I honestly cant remember one accident.
