Mario, for me its simply a question of assessing the risk within each task together with Stephen and Tim and coming to an agreement on the safest and most efficient way of completing the job. Risk assessment and management becomes second nature (or should!) for all of us, is my work more inherently dangerous than say any construction or mining job outdoors...essentially I don't think so, accepting that there are real problems making any such comparison.
A silly example is a tip prune to remove building-branch conflict a week or more ago, no high point out on previously lopped limb
Eucalyptus platyphylla with pronounced hazard beam structure to it. We looked at our options..no EWP, no crane access either leave or climb, decided I would vertically climb primary tip around 70mm dia part of limb, with a secondary tip in the center of the tree, same height some 4/5m away horizontally, so in this way managed the perceived risk...no nasty outcomes, in fact the primary tip held perfectly well...could have climbed on that alone, but the potential risk was managed simply and quickly.
So thats a very long winded way of saying I agree with your last comment....

Do you consider your job dangerous? Or do you think its just dangerous for people who put danger into their work?

I think sometimes some of us rush or have our male bravardo take over where intuition and intrenched risk assessment and management procedures should direct what we do and how we do our work.
