$80This webinar covers three topics crucial to arborists’ safety:
Struck-by injuries are one of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s “fatal four” hazards, but there are measures you can take to minimize the risks. We will identify and explore ways to prevent struck-by-object injuries in the workplace.Arborists work with equipment utilizing hydraulics every day – chippers, chip dump beds, stump grinders, aerial lifts, and the list goes on. While accidents from hydraulic fluid leaks are rare, accounting for only 5% of all accidents within the tree care industry, they can result in serious injuries and even amputation. This webinar covers information about hydraulic systems, maintenance, and injuries.
