 Dangerous Profession? Need to take them all?
I realize that many arborist / tree accidents are not due to hazardous trees. In fact, the two I'm aware of very closely, was one guy melting the line tying himself in with the rope lowering wood laying over it, and, a tree service owner under a tree and the other guy dropping a big chunk on his head or back.
Maybe the profession is less dangerous than people expect. Maybe it's the people who rush and take shorcuts that make it seem worse than it is.
But what came to mind today, were the trees that are definitely dangerous. Around power lines, maybe on live wires. Huge trees loaded with weakness and decay, etc..
Does the wise arborist figure out a way to take-on all the projects, or does he (she) say "no thank you" this time, and let the job fall to someone else?
Do you consider your job dangerous? Or do you think its just dangerous for people who put danger into their work? |
