Guess who I met today

i DO think that others are intitled to their opinions

Actually I had at least 5 years on the job before I ever took any class in arboriculture/forestry, and another about 5 after, so yeah maybe about 10 yrs as an Arborist, maybe not that long as compaired to some of you guys, but I've never been allowed to be on a job site with out my brain bucket. Even when working with a very small 3 man company. "Safety knows no season" as an old friend of mine says. I now work at least 50 hrs a week for a TCIA acredited co, along side a CTSP, and am currently trying to become a CTSP myself. We would never even consider working with out a helmet.

I do agree that it is often safer to see what u are doing, than not be able to see. But what ever what you do isn't my business, I guess some people don't think others are entitled to their opinions, what ever. Sorry I tried to express my concern for your safety/well being.

but that is it.if i wanted to wear a helmet or thought i needed one,i would wear one.i do think the guys on the ground should wear them.again though,it's their choice.
