    TEXT VERSION OF TITLE SLIDE:

    Title: What precautions must be taken when "danger trees" are in the felling area?
    Type: Text Slide
    Content:

    • Each danger tree must be felled or removed using mechanical or other techniques to minimize employee exposure before work is begun in the area of the danger tree.

    • Before felling or removing a danger tree, loose bark and damage must be removed or held in place.

    • If the danger tree cannot be felled or removed, it must be marked and there shall be no work allowed within 2 tree-lengths of it, unless the employer demonstrates that a shorter distance will not create a hazard for an employee.

    • When cutting a spring pole or other trees under stress, no employee other than the feller must be within 2 tree-lengths of the tree when the stress is released.
