Health and Safety Executive

Do you work with trees?

Working with trees can be dangerous. Most injuries happen when using a chainsaw to fell trees, but there are other causes for serious injuries in the arboricultural and forestry industries. This new website from the Health and Safety Executive tells you what the risks are and how to avoid them. The site provides lots of practical advice, videos and case studies for workers and employers. If you are a tree surgeon, forestry worker, chainsaw operator, landowner, estate worker or a forestry works manager, this site is for you.
