Tree Trimming Industry – Musculoskeletal Injuries for Tree Planting Workers
A lot of work goes into planting the trees that beautify communities, provide shade, and make up local forests. Tree planting workers perform many strenuous tasks throughout the process of planting a tree, including digging holes, removing debris like stumps, and carrying seedlings to their desired location. Oftentimes, they may repeat these tasks many times, which puts them at an increased risk of musculoskeletal injuries. These are injuries that impact the:
- Muscles
- Nerves
- Joints
- Cartilage
- Spinal discs
Musculoskeletal injuries can lead to intense, long-term pain. If left untreated, injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrists or a herniated disc in the back can impact a tree planter’s ability to work.
