[CoreyTMorine]

i'm looking for hard data on accidents in the tree care industry, what happened and why, with a statistical breakdown. can sombody please tell me where to go?

U of ND is doing data mining of OSHA reports.

Dr. John Ball is leading it.

Tim Walsh is involved with it too, last I heard.

On interesteing stat John gives at his talks is that most fall deaths occure when the climber is changing TIP's.

One struck-by felling death was a fellah who ran out of gas after cutting his scarf and filled his saw right in front of the tree. It failed and fell on him.

Go to the OSHA website for more information.

USD-Brookings is where Dr. Ball works.
