    Title: Logging Hazards
    Type: Text Slide
    Content:

    Hazards

    Throwback
    As the tree falls through other trees or lands on objects, those objects or branches may get thrown back toward the logger.

    Ways to Eliminate or Avoid

    If possible, avoid felling into other trees or onto objects. Don't turn your back on the tree as it falls, and hide behind a standing tree if possible.

    *(Hazards)

    Lodged Tree
    A tree that has not fallen completely to the ground because it is lodged or leaning against another tree.

    *(Ways to Eliminate or Avoid)

    If possible, move the obstacle.

    *(Hazards)

    Terrain
    If the tree falls onto stumps, rocks, or uneven ground, a hazard may be created.

    *(Ways to Eliminate or Avoid)

    Do not work in the presence of lodged trees. Have these death traps pushed or pulled down by a machine.
