Overhead Hazards
| Overhead
hazards are the number one cause of injuries in the logging woods.
Anyone entering a logging deck must wear a protective hard hat. When manually stumping timber it is extremely important that the saw operator checks for overhead hazards before beginning his cut. Need to plan and clear a path of retreat from the tree being felled. Need to ensure other workers are a safe distance from the tree being felled. If a tree is lodged it needs to be pulled down with a skidder or cutter. Never try to cut a lodged tree out. When walking through the logging woods, everyone needs to be aware of what is overhead - broken and hanging limbs can fall at any time. |
