Many fatalities and serious injuries have occurred as a result of being struck by falling trees, dislodged tree limbs or other dangers in the area. Most of these accidents are caused by using unsafe felling techniques and not following safe work procedures. This manual will guide the faller to safer work techniques. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe manual is based on the national competency standards using three categories: basic, intermediate and advanced. Basic tree felling applies to trees that are relatively small, with a single stem and no defects. Intermediate tree felling covers trees with single or multiple stems, limited defects, and lean and weight distribution that can be adapted to felling direction. Advanced tree felling applies to larger and more complex trees and includes trees deemed to be more hazardous. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorkplace safety, risk assessment and site preparation are included along with the theory, techniques and tools for each of the tree-felling categories.
