Hi all...

I just posted in the Announcements section, and it has been brought to my attention the term ‘Tree Loppers’ is offensive

sorry about that...

I am a 4th year Industrial Design Student from the University of Technology, Sydney. For my Major work I have chosen to look into the OH & S issues in Tree Lopping. I have no idea about this industry except to say I have heard of many cases of various injuries caused from accidents on the job through a friend who works at a hospital.

I endeavour to observe and understand the job, learn from it, and ultimately design a new product to combat one specific problem area. Looking at anything from climbing trees/ using chainsaw / dealing with ropes/ alternative climbing devices/ harnesses, plus the many other aspects of the I know nothing about.

If you are posting on this forum I assume you work in the industry. If so it would be so greatly appreciated if you could email me and give me some direction on potential problems areas of the industry where a new product may overcome these troubles. Maybe you already have an idea for a product that would overcome the issue in the industry. Please let me know if you have time for a phone interview or email interview.

Thanks alot.
