Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Safety for Tree Workers Although an extremely small percent of the industrial accident record is chargeable to tree workers, since the number of tree work ers is comparatively small, the accident rate in this field is consider ably higher than the general industrial average per worker employed. This is evidenced by the high insurance rates that are required of commercial tree preservation organizations. At the end of the year the outlay for compensation is calculated, and several commercial tree preservation companies, which have found that safety pays, have enjoyed substantial rebates on their premiums as well as a more favorable basic rate for the next year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Safety First This work, it is hoped, will contribute to the advancement of this caign by calling the attention of the employe the human machine - to views of unsafe and safe practices and conditions, with proper comment, in order that he may be better enabled to profit by the experience of others. We trust that every employe to whose attention these views may come will study them carefully with an earnest desire to learn and apply something which will make him a safer man. Every View is true to life and we know, from actual experi ence, that every comment thereon is capable of practical appli cation. The subjects of illustration relate to the performance of routine duties - matters of everyday occurrence. Don't think that as such, they are too commonplace to receive your consideration. An Open switch, a broken rail, a bridge washed away, a mistake in receiving or reading a train order may cause serious accidents. But every one is on guard against these causes and they are less liable to exist because of the attention they attract. But the little improper conditions and practices make the accident record. They are serious, because they are little things, so easily overlooked, for the same reason that fever germs are more to be dreaded than cannon balls.

Download or read book How to Recognize Hazardous Defects in Trees Classic Reprint written by Jana Albers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Recognize Hazardous Defects in Trees Trees add to our enjoyment of outdoor experiences whether in forests, parks, or urban landscapes. Too often, we are unaware of the risks associated with defective trees, which can cause personal injury and property damage. Interest in hazard tree management has increased in recent years due to safety and liability concerns resulting from preventable accidents. Recognizing hazardous trees and taking proper corrective actions can protect property and save lives. A hazard tree is a tree with structural defects likely to cause failure of all or part of the tree, which could strike a target. A target can be a vehicle, building, or a place where people gather such as a park bench, picnic table, street, or backyard. This brochure was created to help home owners and land managers in recognizing hazardous defects in trees and to suggest possible corrective actions. We recommend that corrective actions be undertaken by professional arborists. Because of the natural variability of trees, the severity of their defects, and the different sites upon which they grow, evaluating trees for hazardous defects can be a complex process. This publication presents guidelines, not absolute rules for recognizing and correcting hazardous defects. When in doubt, consult an arborist.

This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Recognize and Reduce Tree Hazards in Recreation Sites Outdoor recreation offers many enjoyable experiences but there are associated risks, such as the property damage and personal injury that may be caused by falling trees or branches. It is the recreation site manager's responsibility to provide as safe an environment as possible for public use. If an accident occurs, it may be up to the courts to determine whether adequate precautions were taken to reduce hazardous conditions or whether the accidents resulted from natural causes beyond the manager's control. If managers cannot prove they took reasonable steps to reduce hazards in their campgrounds, they may be found negligent and held liable for the accident.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rope Knots and Climbing Ladders often are useful in connection with tree preservation activities, but they are awkward to transport and use and so usually are not available when needed. And, even when ladders are used, the intelligent worker always will avail himself of a rope safety sling to prevent possible accidents. It may be truthfully said that the ability to perform efficient work in a tree is based firmly upon a thorough working knowledge of rope, knots, splices, hitches, and climbing technique. No tree worker can be considered skilled unless he possesses such basic knowledge and knows how to apply it properly.

Download or read book Street Trees in Britain written by Mark Johnston and published by Windgather Press. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The trees which line many of the streets in our towns and cities can often be regarded as part of a heritage landscape. Despite the difficult conditions of an urban environment, these trees may live for 100 years or more and represent ‘living history’ in the midst of our modern streetscapes. This is the first book on the history of Britain’s street trees and it gives a highly readable, authoritative and often amusing account of their story, from the tree-lined promenades of the seventeenth century to the majestic boulevards that grace some of our modern city centers. The impact of the Victorian street tree movement is examined, not only in the major cities but also in the rapidly developing suburbs that continued to expand through the twentieth century. There are fascinating descriptions of how street trees have helped to improve urban conditions in spa towns and seaside resorts and also in visionary initiatives such as the model villages, garden cities, garden suburbs and new towns. While much of the book focuses on the social and cultural history of our street trees, the last three chapters look at the practicalities of how these trees have been engineered into concrete landscapes. This includes the many threats to street trees over the years, such as pollution, conflict with urban infrastructure, pests and diseases and what is probably the greatest threat in recent times – the dramatic growth in car ownership. Street Trees in Britain will have particular appeal to those interested in heritage landscapes, urban history and the natural and built environment. Some of its themes were introduced in the author’s previous work, the widely acclaimed Trees in Towns and Cities: A History of British Urban Arboriculture.

This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Experimental Tree Planting in the Plains The experimental plantings herein described in detail are given not only as a record Of the beginnings Of an important work, but as indi cating what are believed to be useful mixtures Of trees for planting in the West. Sufficient time has not elapsed, even in the Oldest plantings described, for final conclusions to be drawn; but the notes on kinds will be found of interest in connection with the experiments, and the whole is believed to afford a basis for selection Of trees for the various States included in the treeless area. While this bulletin has to do primarily with Western planting, it may be found a safe guide in many directions for forest planting within the timbered regions Of the country, especially as to general principles involved. Experiments in planting in cut-over lands in the pineries Of Minnesota and Pennsylvania have been begun by the Department, but are not yet sufficiently advanced to warrant even a progress report.
