INTRODUCTION
Pruning
is to be performed by tree workers who, through related training
and on-the-job experience, are familiar with the techniques and
hazards of this work, including trimming maintenance, repairing
or removal, and equipment used in such operations. The use of climbing
spurs or irons is not approved in pruning operations on live trees.
This type of work is a potentially hazardous occupation and is to
be undertaken only by trained personnel or under the supervision
of trained personnel, all of whom are covered with workers compensation,
property damage public liability, and completed operations insurance.
