Tree Trimming Industry – Equipment Injuries in Tree Trimming
To perform essential and everyday tasks like cutting, pruning, and maintaining trees, your clients in the tree trimming industry use a variety of tools and equipment, like:
- Chainsaws
- Ladders
- Wood chippers
- Handheld tools, like pruning shears
- Ropes and rigging equipment
- Axes and hatchets
- Mulchers
While tools like these play a key function in tree trimming tasks, they can also put your tree trimming industry clients at risk of accidents and injuries. For example, a tree trimmer could suffer severe spinal cord injuries after a fall from a ladder, or a traumatic brain injury (TBI) after being struck by a falling tool. Sharp tools and equipment, like axes and chainsaws, can also put tree trimmers at risk of traumatic amputations and lacerations, which can lead to complications like blood loss, permanent scarring, and an increased risk of infection.
If tools like these are improperly used or poorly maintained, it greatly increases the risk of injuries and accidents from your tree trimming clients. This is why your clients should take steps like safety training and regular inspection and maintenance to protect their business and employees from accidents.
To protect against tool and equipment accidents, your clients in the tree trimming industry also need comprehensive and robust Workers’ Compensation coverage. With the right coverage, they can find the support they need while navigating an equipment accident or other workplace injury. However, since tree trimming is considered a high-risk industry, it can be difficult for your tree trimming clients to find and secure the coverage they need.
