Maintenance of a tree can be a difficult job. The trimming operations will need you to climb the trees and prune the branches taking the physical risk. You have to use portable equipment like the heavy chainsaw trimmers. Maintaining the body balance along with such heavy machines at considerable height calls for using safety measures always. Falls from the heights and severe electrocutions can be fatal and to avoid such risks you have to undergo proper training and arrange for required safety measures.
Inspect before climbing
Sometimes, you have to trim and prune the higher branches of the trees. Such tree stump removal service requires you to climb the tall trees. But before climbing, you need to inspect the lower branches. It may so happen that while climbing, you might step on the dead limbs which will give away under your pressure. Never try to use the weak or dead limbs for support. Try to place your hands and feet consciously on separate limbs so that you can have alternative support even if a branch breaks.
Pre-work assessment is a must
For each job, you need to follow different strategies as well as different gears. So before starting the work, you need to plan appropriately. If you are planning to use the ladder, then tie it to a secure branch before climbing. The stump grinding services also have separate techniques for execution. Use the fall protection harness when going for the higher ascents. Don’t forget to inspect the condition of the harness, ropes, and latches beforehand. Maintain caution while cutting the branches so that you don’t get hurt by the accidental fall of some upper branch. Postpone the work if there is snowfall or storm on the forecast.
