equipment involved, along with the associated
hazards

- Closely inspect trees for electrical conductors

passing through or within reaching distance of
workers before beginning tree work
- Consider all electrical power conductors to be
energized and not to be directly or indirectly
(e.g., through tools, branches, or other
equipment) touched
- Assume that electrical lines are energized
until proven otherwise. Lines and other
conductors may become re-energized without
warning as utilities are evaluated and restored
after a disaster
- Inspect the work area for downed conductors
and do not go near, drive over, or otherwise
come in contact with them

- Prepare tree for felling (cut off low

Personal Injury: branches).
- Crushing
- Being hit by falling object - Ensure no persons in fall area.
- Hit by moving vehicle - Use agreed communication (eg: radio, hand
- Slips, trips, falls signals and/or whistles).
- Death
- During trimming, keep non-essential
response and recovery workers at least 20
feet beyond expected drop zones during
trimming
- During felling, designate work area so that
trees cannot fall into an adjacent occupied
work area. Adjacent occupied work areas
should be at least two treelengths from the
tree being felled (allow more if it is
reasonably foreseeable that the tree might roll
or slide)
- Always plan a clear path of retreat before
TREE FELLING cutting
- Determine the felling direction and how to
deal with forward, back, and/or side lean
- Determine the proper hinge size to safely
guide the tree in its fall-◾If tree is broken
and under pressure, make sure you know
which way the pressure is going. If not sure,
make small cuts to release some of the
pressure before cutting up the section
- - Be careful of young trees that other trees
have fallen against; they act like spring poles
and can propel back
- - If you have to cut a dead tree, be careful:
the top could break off
- - If possible, avoid felling trees into other
trees or objects; branches and objects may
get thrown back toward the tree cutter

- watch for falling debris
- watch for kickback/bounce.
- For much larger trees – use quarter cutting
techniques:
- cut scarf as normal
- plan cut (mark felling cuts on map or tree)
- select side of tree for first cut (if rot or lean
- If not, do not approach tree in direction of
fall
- Hung-up:
- Use machine
- Do not approach in direction of fall
- If manually – use can’t hook or levering
device to dislodge.

position
unless barricading and clearly signing the
area to prevent persons entering.
