o okay

what kind of trees will you be falling?

 

[slowp]

In 2013 11.1 cops per 100,000 died at work. Less than half of those where murdered.

In 2013 127.8 loggers per 100,000 died at work. I wonder how many were murdered?

That's more than 11X the risk of death if you are a logger vs. being a cop.

Those deaths are not just falling, I presume. In the 1980s we had an entire landing crew wiped out on their way to work. A semi driver fell asleep and hit their crummy head on. They were all local guys. When logging picks up, so do accidents-- I can think of two fatalities that happened to guys working in the rigging last year.

oh there is lots of ways to buy it besides while falling. it may sound strange but i am much more comfortable falling than on the road.

My fire wood is mostly red and white oak. clearing for this guys view is a hodge poge of stuff. red cedar, hackberry, oak, elm, and ash.

same here slayer, hard tellin what some of them other drivers have smoked or snorted and are behind the wheel of a 70 mph bullet. In the woods its the good lord, you and the trees.

 

[treeslayer2003]

Older stats, all industries have improved some but still puts logging fishing and bush pilots as 1, 2 & 3
Cops died at less than half the rate and are not in the top ten.
It goes on to say. Although 50 cops were murdered that year...so were 205 salespeople. Biggest work place killer is by far driving, then at 23%. Then falls NO. 2 and murder at NO.3
Its also been documented that there was more fatalities in crab fishing vs Fallers?
That may be so as they have a small fleet
And if one boat goes down that would give them an an extremely high fatality rate.
But put a PNW Faller against crab fisherman and that wouldn't hold true at all. 90% of fallers here have not even cut for merch timber.
America’s Most Dangerous Jobs All data for calendar year 2000. *Deaths per 100,000 employed. Sources: Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Dept. of Labor
Job Number Of Fatalities Fatality Rate*
Timber Cutters 105 -122.1
Fishermen 52 -108.3
Pilots 230 -100.8
Structural Metal Workers 47- 59.5
Extractive Occupations 69 -53.9
Roofers 65 -30.2
Construction Workers 288- 28.3
Truck Drivers 852- 27.6
All Occupations 5,915 4.3

In 2000, timber cutters had the most dangerous job, suffering 122 deaths per 100,000 employed. These workers toil in the woods accessible by dirt roads, with heavy machinery and amongst falling trees. The second most dangerous occupation is fishing, with fishermen dying at a rate of 108 per 100,000 of those employed. Airplane pilots have the third most dangerous occupation, with a death rate of 101 per 100,000. Nearly all of these deaths resulted from small-plane crashes, not on passenger jets.

I have been felling trees for a guy along the Missouri river to open up a guys view. I am not very good at bidding so I think working by the hour maybe best. I am not a pro but own several saws and know my way around the woods decent. What is a good price per hour for felling trees. he is paying me 30 an hour right now.

Hey guy, Your selling yourself way short.. Felling is dangerous and you need to know how to and where... I am in NJ and I get $90 an hour to fell trees... But I am also in the forestry business..

I was offered a job at $98 per hour last year by a heli outfit. 70 acres and I had three months to get it done. Steep, but not rocky. Due to prior commitments I couldn't fit the job into my schedule. I would have needed help as well. I only know two other guys around these parts that hand fall. Both of them have steady day jobs.

I could stand about 20 solid years of that kind of work!

I know a tree service man did that and the tree was full of cement way up the trunk, I don't know how many chains it took before he finally hired a wrecker service to pull it over since he couldn't get it down..
