The very first Arbor Day took place in Nebraska on April 10th, 1872. Since then, it has become a ...vital holiday to shed a light of hope for our future through the act of planting trees. While more than 1 million trees were planted on that day, planting just 1 today makes a difference for future generations tomorrow.

We forget that the one time we need PPE is when everything else has failed – it is your last ...defense from an injury. When working in proximity with overhead power lines, the climber or aerial-lift operator must wear a Class E helmet (ANSI Z89.1). This means whenever working within 10 feet of energized conductors, either secondary or primary overhead power lines. Class E helmets protect against impact injuries but also against electrical shock.
Not all aerial devices may be used in proximity – within 10 feet – of overhead power lines. Aerial devices that are not insulating are specifically labeled with this warning. This does not mean the labels are read or followed. Every year, tree workers are electrocuted when the basket of an uninsulated telehandler or portable lift touches an overhead powerline.

This became a focal point at a recent OSHA hearing. To date, the industry and government standards ...we rely on for guidance haven’t provided specific instructions for cribbing a crane on grass. However, it’s crucial to note that these same standards explicitly mandate the proper setup of a crane, whether using cribbing or not.
